Poem Title:
Poem
Green rolling ember sparks desire Wrapping around broken clam shells on beds of dirty brown cracking leaves. Roots slither down and out Fingers clawing their way to the anti-surface of eternity’s chambers. Feeling as if it was never going to end up the way it’s going to end. Shame doesn’t cease the joy I feel wrapped in wooden scales. Just imagine the naked freedom of wind touch on bare roughness; cloud water on smooth and shiny. Songs play from balding heads invisible to untrained eyes. Eat the earth from start ‘til finish. Until broken teeth crumble mountains and volcanoes. Until oceans are swallowed whole into gaping mouth fountains of obscenities. Eat thy skyward glancing blows of smoke stack coal love Under ground fault plates of steel shaken with fear. Eat my earth bound angel wings off backs of uninstructed elephant ears. Still and listening for the change to come. All of every under the sun dance ritual cleansing in pairs of wrathful tunics. Wrap around myself, once, twice. Please eat my earth. Drink my raindrop ocean mist on the rocks. Shaken and stirred Until shaman brings the sleep over blankets of snow covered carcasses. Eat my earth laced with hope. Eat my earth under the flower bed of gloved kisses hiding from the monster within. Within the earth. Eat my earth. Eat my earth.
