claudia_at_twigs
epitome of incomprehensibility (for Claudia Morrison, 1936-2021, a poet in the "Twigs and Leaves" group who used to meet at TWIGS café; this isn't much, but I felt I should write something for her wake tomorrow)

Claudia at TWIGS

At the front, she wanted the spotlight
on her words. Sometimes she squinted
under the café's cylinder lights.

When she sat, it was casual:
one leg forward, the other draped
on the side. Her voice

swelled into expression:
"a sucker born each minute"
indexed mosquitos,

and bonobo sex went "bonk."
Acoustic Kitty, wired for spying,
exemplified Found Madness

and she asked: could we lose it? A little?
Leave war. Take time. Taste reason's season:
a grain
of salty commentary.
