Jeu d’Esprit
(for Michael)

A garden’s a place for talking, so much we agreed,
talking of this and that, love, poems, piss –
then how to write about it,
that functional loving ingestion of (acid?) rain
returned more benign (and alkaline) to earth.

And you, beating about a bush to find a place –
the urethra’s busy push that keeps us live
recycling – thinking too
...
