“Everything changes but the avant-garde”

“There was a lone poppy-head in the field
that was saving its thoughts
on a pile in the wood
and when it had shaken its fear of motion
it borrowed a sugar bowl at a small train station
and dispatched this letter
I am always so alone
I miss your fine tentacles
My skin is no longer smoked
Now I belong to that order of birds
who let others hatch their eggs
Come
I send sweetest regards”
