Jawbone Walk
Jawbone licks like sand at heels,

sauntering hand in hand;
licks at tanned leaves, crawling, and
at trees, wrapped in shawls like howls:

the trees, they cradle tumours,
in threes - like china-doll-babies.

They spit blossoms in spring for comic effect,
parting mud and meadows
(where gulls click their wings,
then drop like fish, loaves

And wine -

then click swoop and roar

up)-

parting mud and meadows
like Moses, but considerately pragmatic.

Ambulances wail ancient sirens;
Asazi tinkers his xylophone;

And the djembe beats the day to

Stop.
