accordion poem

a knowing fish hurled into a bears mouth
cheese boiled down and molded into hands
and given out to the greek colony of handless men
a house made of spoons and flowers
even the beggars beds are beautiful
the woman in india who sews her own wrinkles
into blankets for the children
all the fat children holding
hands and feet to make a raft
for the abandoned wet dogs
caught in a flood
