a bull made of red-bull cans

is not red at all.

a bulbul's pecking tintinnabulation

only finds carbonation.

then who knows why the caged bird sings

when red bull gives you wings?

*

the priest's hand

a geodesic map

on yours

a touch with a telos

unable to sublate

into anything more

i don't think this is

going anywhere

anymore.

*

the dancer

became

the priest

when he forgot

the source

of his dance

thus his hand

on yours

is an elegy

of pure chance.
