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".
