Aiding and Mending Evi

The way of the healer

 

 

 

Someone once said, offer the left cheek in return,

 

 

Never worked for me. I always returned in kind.

 

 

But the principle was a good one and I didn't forget.

 

 

These days I'm glad I kept that lesson in mind,

I'm starting to understand the opposite natures,

Well, in people, events and the usual expectations.

The Karabura, a bird, much like the Kukabara,

With all the charms of an Aussien jolly swagman,

Befriended me somewhat recently. Weird it is not,

But there are worse things than that, try lobotomous,

A word that shows a need for a lobotomy.

I made an effort to know her. Well, let me put it this way,

If you ever saw two snakes entwined together, that's her,

But she started to make sense when I applied to a worldview,

Both independent, separate life-forces and its own goals.

Right, so I'm saying, I don't mind some Karabura in my soup,

Gives it a flavor. I think I could get used to it.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Powerful verse. Like I said, intellectual stimulation.
