      < rainy spring day >


 
   a dripping of a drop
   as a flower tips its top
    
   and the forest
   in deep shadow
   and the birds
   birding
   and the squirrels
   using their tails as umbrellas
    
   and it's cool
   and no breeze
   and my breath
   turns mist then melts away
    
   a red mushroom
   poisonous
   i eat it anyway
   and feel its flesh
   crush between my teeth
   and feel its inside
   mix with mine
    
   and five miles down the trail
   a first tingle
   and five more miles
   a warm wave
   and then
   my lips are numb
   but i still laugh
   and later
    
   where are my legs?
    
   so here i lie
   part of the sky
    
   or
    
   (if you must)
    
   patiently
    
   (it's just)
    
   watching
   my top
    
   (rust   
    into rust)
    
   feeling
   each drop
    
   (dust   
    into dust)
