Peter Gizzi: Pretty Sweety



Here there are small animals
foraging and content
Perhaps this is what’s called
perhaps love is a small animal foraging
content entirely with its mouth there
with the ant and the sun and fur
This is a strange view
sunlight and furlight and a mouth
busy with nature
a mouth busy with its bloom
a mouth blooming loveliness


Published 2015. A clever interrogation of the animal within humans ("sunlight and furlight and a mouth busy with nature") that stays off-balance enough to make itself "a strange view".
