Awk Awk

I fall
Into
The
Hole
That bores
Between your words
And mine,
And furl, then wilt, and
Grasping lose
The yarn
That stitches looping thoughts.

My friend, I'm not aloof.
Contrarily,
You loom a god before a frozen man.

Aridity

This morning Nature woke up on the ground.
She watched as we were dragged without a sound,
Across her body's oily red disgrace.

We streaked her hallway floor. Rain washed her face
That reeked of char and putrescence. The light
Confirmed the end at last of drawn out nights,
With demon imps that suckling, scarred her breasts.
She doffed her burning dress, then limped as best
She could over to shut her bedroom door.

It locked. She sighed, "Y a mort. Alors...confort."

Mulching

Silence grows like the wild flowers-
No one waters or prunes daily-
How they thrive all the same,
Heedless.

Rainy days and at least
Hours' sun sufficiently breeds
Many such, that spread
In our farm seedless-
Useless,
Even
To grind as flour.
Prickly stems should be pulled early-
Palms exposed to the cold
Bleed less.

Bubbles

Blown into being by benevolence
Thin and reflective
Identical and unique
Delicate, so delicate
Universes
They contain everything
And may be nothing at all

Nothing so shows the beauty nature bestowed
On a callipygian Venus upright posed
As an intergluteal cleft bent over exposed
