A Withdrawn Thickened Slug Poem by umashankar manthravadi

A Withdrawn Thickened Slug



a withdrawn thickened slug
trod upon by too many feet
to ever want to extend its
horns and resume the search
dehydrates
on the concrete path
its body fluids
a sticky dark patch
in the light
do not touch me

May 24,1974
