Planet Earth
Your muddy breaths
triple the blood we rest
in boxes under an arch
of frozen light tangled
up in your mother’s
waterfall legs long,
smooth and boney feet.
Your forearms trammeling,
drenched and cold
as God has been sleeting
in our faces for days.
So cold we lay under old pelts
with sours and sweets.
Your hand fits my fist
we’ll be offline for hours.
Dig my Baby good cool,
death must come to all--
drunks spilling out of saloons,
still hearts falling
like leaves in the yard.
But there is in your lovely smell,
your base and silver singing.
