Y 

yum yum yummy, you have

become so very indulgent

in this juicy alphabet

you can readily get high
high within your hairless skin
as yellowish as the bank

of the Huanghe River

less sleek than a china crane
but more fragrant than a young yucca
while its pronunciation can lead you
to the ultimate truth you are seeking, its shape
can grow from an unknown sprout

into a huge Yggdrasil, where your soul

can perch, cawing glaringly

towards the autumn setting sun
