At the Level / Of the Electric

we are worms

we are bobcats

we are grizzlies gone

a different branch of raw

as the haywire

or electric can

become

at the level of

the electric

maybe it is the same

if a robin's wings

click their

way south or

a bear turns to

hibernate in a nook

or we get too

entangled to

light out the path

we suffered and

bumbled into

in our mumbling

state

at that level, too,

too, as hollow

as bells, the pulling

of which is

as electric

as sound in

humid air
