Even The Universe Wishes
The blind blind universe
Her kisses are canyon deep
And burn like star fire
Miles down inside your abdomen.
There are echoes there
The growing growls of your prowling panther
She sees your rotting flower corpses
And raises you a skunk vertebrae
To string beside snowflake obsidian
And wear on weak days to give you
Borrowed strength
She sings with distant train songs
And laughs at your tiny human laments
Or
Hums those tunes as lullabies
Comforted by the far away feelings
That she once wore as fairy crowns
"Take off your socks," she whispers to you
in cricket songs, " and dig your too-clean toes
Deep in my mud.
You're dying, my child. Your life blood is mine
While it thrums inside you
And please
Let me hear it
Scream."
