Earth - Sky Love
Star worms snort dreaming with mouth agape;
dark blue vales attire earth's satin
couch; sky furls its far spread, dark,
wet, clouds of wings, and he
mourns, groans and, disguised
as strewn scatters,
stealthily
flies straight
down…
Earth
spends a
glamorous
night with her love,
sky, and when she feels
sun's dawn, she sends her night
love; yet remains her secret
love on news headlines since farewell
tears glisten as dews on blades of grass.
