    These Various Shades of Earth

    O
    (source)

     

    The river eyes in faerie-light.
    Wind is in the hound’s breath on the bank
    of the bends,
    riverroundabouts.

    Five-finger’d leaves threat at the touching ground,
    Spiderweb swings around veins
    as a leafsong ripples through the ears.

    Leaflet boats seen through beetle eyes
    as yellow-white floods
    the dark corridors of rods and cones.
    A wonderthought,
    wanderthroughlust. Earth between
    the ridges of skin
    holding tight to gravity
    softens underneath lofty thoughts.

    Ribbon bark, cracklelight
    reflects upon the brow,
    as green-dwellers crow
    at the pollen in the plow.

    Cotton arches tingle against a silky current,
    and leaves are lips as trees are tongues
    of blushing Mother Earth.

    Steps are sprints upon moth grounds,
    wings the veins of re-coupling birth
    of ecstasy and safety,
    home amongst the fog.
