Dig
Deep in the solstice sky
behind backbone
webbed ether undulates
I dig in up to my elbows, rocking
with the motion.
Suns diffuse into stars
sutures dissolve into scars
winking pinpricks where God drug her nails
Am I planting,
or am I mining?
Corpuscles sluicing
wisdom shudders
and gives birth,
dying in the same instant.

I found the bold a bit distracting to the flow -
but I'm uncertain if that was your intent...
to interrupt such a delicate moment
with human thought.

Excellent. I wasn't sure if I should leave well enough alone and not italicize, but it it's working I'll leave it alone. Thanks again.

This was absolutely what this poem hung upon for me. Sometimes one line is all it needs. I just love these natural writes.
Thank you for the read.
