Word Poems Wriggle
It rained last night
and it will rain again and again
after each dry spell -
the planet has always understood
the benefits of hydration.
The ground of being, being mind-clay
will reconfigure a muddy tale,
then poetry (or whatever speaks
in riddles and earthy visons
claiming to be the most profound
of witless squiggle’s)
will surface to inscribe its thoughts
upon a fluid reality.
Writhing, writing worms
will raise their blind heads
in praise of the compliancy of all deconstructed worlds;
they will carol in the newly wetted shallows
as God muses together
all potentially squirmy realities,
ones that can be read as an outward appearance,
and evidence
of yet more superficial churnings.
