Too Civilised

When I miss the Wilderness

so white
the walls
no dirt
no curves

no leaf
that falls
into
my tea

a raised
and white
toilet
bowl
to pee

my toes
so clean
no ants
or things
between
my hair and feet

I miss
the dirt
the curves
the open space

I miss
that leaves
fall
into
my tea

I know
where I
belong
I always
know
my home

I’m glad
that too
I know
that place
deep
inside
of me

that place
that’s there
no matter where
I am
no matter
where I pee
