collapsing, moans cloudhead, rain unto earth
tasha klein
|
and I am perched on the tip
of something big
this may take all day
he burns new and bright
his elbows and feet
awkward
and sweet
his hands
dew-slick windings
his mouth tastes of woodsmoke
I imagine its dark color
and am sprung free
by its cooling air
as he slides down like a river
flat and brown
decoding
my warm thunder
