A finger’s
width above
fast over the wavelets
resolute in its course
flies the cormorant
Monk-like in rain gear
half hidden behind
walls they are up to something
Too early for the corner
stores – no milk
an open bakery look over the sweets
3 loaves of yesterday’s bread buy
one 2000 won
Cold rain numbs my cheeks
stiffens my fingers
wettens into my long
underwear
I lust for a pot
of mulled Bulgarian
wine
vapor of alcohol &
clove
But I would probably drink
several
swagger out
put those bossy fucking kachis
in their place
demand folk stop bowing
answer why all these walls
topped off in broken glass barbed wire
piss-off whoever's piss-offable
rave in tongues at
these stupid elements
