I can feel my body
going back to Earth each day,
as it justly must*!
*(when I counted that last line’s alternate in the original I realized “After Math” had stuck again! as it justly does – because after man came – and still does – recess. The old “but plenty remains” now just a second thought relegated back to the dust, as it were)
When it used to take
six hours, six days or six weeks
to heal, I was game:
six months? Well…all right, I’ll go.
But now? Six years? I will shoot!
Second-beer sleepy,
so many seasons spent to
become a cheap date!
Dying all alone
in the deepest woods or swamp:
give back to the beasts!
if you can draw breath
you can do yoga – so do!
the least is the most!
the nice thing about
wine, cheese, meat, men and whisky –
all better with age!
