These unlikely vessels
pouring grammar
of beauty and light
from the mouth of
a cracked jug
if media is message
what the body
what the actions
is it the words
the work
the work must need
be done
or must it
is the saying enough
when the cracked vessel
speaks of perfection
est-ce qu’il faut que
nous faissions attention
shall we listen?
the vessel is leaking
the ship is sinking
the string quartet
plays genius as elegy
to our discernment
better to listen to those
with hardened hands
softened souls
open hearts
dexterous minds
lives without leaks
why are we so keen
to hitch ride-alongs
on these sinking ships
