Bleeding Lamb

he was dreaming he was playing a low-rider drum kit
with fuzzy dice
Cheech Marin was there
then he woke up and called for me and I told him about
the collage I'd been working on
featuring the creepy blond puppet talking to the
little blond boy in haiku

you are like a little lamb
bleating with bland innocence
waiting for Mary

"Mary?" he asked
"Yeah...Mary had a little lamb," I said
"Oh, yes she did. Mary had a little bleeding lamb," he said
I was talking about the nursery rhyme
he was talking about the Virgin and the Christ
half-awake he makes me laugh
and love him so goddamn fiercely
it pierces my heart.
