“Through with you” ?

Was anybody fooled ?

You who

pounded my pulse

to the rhythm of verse,

tuned my heart

and restored its voice.



[ You who wallowed with hogs

and lived to tell !



( Although,

when as young as you,

I as well

slipped into slop a time or two. )



Still,

in the future

if you’re drawn to mud,

could you play in puddles

and avoid the slides?

You surfaced soiled

while I damned near died. ]
