I Couldn't Fix Myself
My scars found me
growing new fingerprints
and stayed put anyway.
Time was a sadist that
left my worn feet
calloused like cracked acorns.
I tried to change
broken pieces of fossils
into gushing plasma.
My own hands could not

I could not oil a rusted

to turn a parched earth.
A dusty bookshelf would not
offer up luminous poems of
alchemy and transformation.
I ran to emerald mountains
only to find tarnished ...
growing new fingerprints
and stayed put anyway.

seeding gravity.
fields the color of bleached bones
