Black mountain fingers push
***** toes,
birds, feathers, and native flora.
Suppose the babe was feral;
backwoods tempered, under tall trees,
stinging knees;
nature's reparation.
Steamy soil,
encrusted, permanently, under twisted fingernails.
Green-as-envy rain,
natural,
beat,
gone with the tree swallow's cry;
easy sleep.
