lump on a log

I am a bullfrog catching flies and asking for signs

The flies are the signs


Or maybe the asking itself


Darting and accusing eyes


Lately, I’d do anything to shed this skin 


or dive into someone else's deep waters


Yellowing teeth, I look in the mirror and feign a smile


But it’s too late, my face is a constant pout


A gullet full of sorrow


I’ve let my complaints take the place of all my wonder


And reduced myself to a lump on a log

  2. Me too. Often wonder where my wonder went.
