Lilliputian
Tease,
call me
scavenger.
So I had to
steal, beg, and bribe:
Steeple keepers,
captains, fishermen,
merchants, ferrymen,
nagsmen, magicians,
those noose men
whose squareknots, overhands,
bowlines & sheetbends
are now loosed,
stretched into
straight lengths;
Tangled nets
forever unwoven,
pulled & driven,
prayers,
asking integrity's strength.

there's always a better reason to love
