A Funnel In My Ear
For Lindsay
By Jehangir Saleh
Written: April 16, 2002

There is a mole
Furrowing through the funnel
In my ear

I listen, and he laughs
Quite a ticklish mole indeed

Let’s name him Bobert
Yes, Bobert, the mole
Snuggling in blindness
While funneling in the funnel
That has somehow found
It’s way into my ear

I was thinking about a better place
Of deep red comfort
Skies stained a very warm pink
Where we might furrow away
And then came Bobert
And his funnel

I listened
While he laughed
(Quite I ticklish mole indeed)
Closed my eyes
And wrote
What I suppose is a poem
For you
