Sip-sip.
I don’t know.
Many times,
Survivors aren’t august;
It’s less survivors.
More who’s left over.
Was their life a sign?
A signal.
For what,
For who,
For reasons,
Their plans,
The Plan:
No plan.
Luck, and love,
And live.
Scraps for people.
Leftovers.
Scrappy people,
Left over.
And the gone?
Antipodean,
Reflections of,
The Gone.
Here’s a chalice.
Sip-sip,
Hound dogs.
Sip-sip,
Feral cat.
Sip-sip,
Survivors.
Nothing but noise,
Then sign water.
Is there much signal?
I don’t know.
Looks like a never ending story,
Of those who are left over.
For luck,
For love,
For life,
So survival,
Sure: Survivors.
Sip-sip.
