Wild words skid
amid lucky bamboo
call the cry of scars
paddle down the moon
bereft of useful mojo
sundry recent dead
sidestep history's debt.
One mad zebra
kicks a bird of paradise,
swears the past was true.

i am amazed at times with the workings of your mind.. you are always so figurative,, and i so literal... but it does sound nice when read aloud doesn't it????
Brilliant! I love where you took us.
