soft skeleton, short palindrome
soft skeleton, short palindrome,
pronounce your name;
polished and smooth,
press your fingertips into the loam
and find the remainder of your frame
beneath the ochre silt,
identify yourself;
dredge and raise
the chiffon of lantanas and maize
to prove that you're gestalt.
or embower yourself in salt deep,
where neither root nor ray calls home;
weave your head a blind komuso
and rehearse the stage, the feat,
than ever learn to stand on your own.
shallow grave, reprobate ruminant,
whisper.
aeolian currents may ferry
this conscious cud if you could,
of amaranth culled and cultivated,
how the hot sand loves the sun,
that there's truth in a ruin,
over desert and dermis and dune.
