Runt

obstacle notion
when one or more mice
with the heads of elephants
falter
their thresholds relevant
letter without detachment
from word
aches retelling

if the desert is a plain
squeezed closer than the page
its death jabs quicken toward
the obstacle

subject notion
to one or more minds
with the heads without detachment
their relevant thresh holds
quickening obstacles

if finally upon the land again
and the greater vehicle
return earth to social
insist upon actual fire
actual people
actual action

a mouse as big as an elephant
may still nibble
a smallish cheese

thought planar
than imagination's
grain
and fired upon the runt
