An Expanse of Open or Cleared Ground
We all seem to move with feet of some kind-
or in keeping still-move.
Or in keeping stagnant, feel the urge for urgency between
our teeth. The tree out back has a deep hole halfway
between its branches and its trunk, full of things that
shimmer.
and here are all these plants around and i forget
if I’m the one planting them
or if I’m the one biting at their stems.
Planting among cellular tufts.
Planting nettles among stinging nettles.
and here are all these plants around and i
forget their classifications/and watering times and
(Honey honey honey) we are gonna miss the thick
of things if we stay lookin’ at our palms for
too much longer.
