Zoo Son's Song

 Zoo-Son’s Song


Oh, God.

Bloodshot.

School of scorn or scowl.

Convoy of sorrows.


Oh, son.

Typhoon of wordloss,

monkshood blown off.

Jolt of joy.


Oh, son—

wholly ox, onto job, onto job:

stoop, sort, mow,

snort, sob, zoom.


Oh, son!

Storm stork contorts

onto blowtorch ports;

oblong crown flown.


Oh, son.

Forlorn fox

grows forth

moon or monk or monsoon.


Ok. 

Growl. Howl.

Yowl—

Oh, God!
