where in this alone
which you are
thinking some
of empty
air air air
over the rolls
and fluxed
earth;
the soil
in whose body
hides each
small seed of the grass,
dispersed again
and again
in root, clover,
thresh, and tine;
there is only
air air air
here in this
alone where
your body
finds the
caved silence
and the sluiced
arrow of a flower;
(it is a hill)
there is a girl somewhere;
far and not far,
between the hollow
of her corded belly
and the curled
chamber of her lips.
she makes
(who is a maker)
that will not make.
alone alone alone
in the
air air air
(who thinks some of
empty hills
where no seed
of grass,
dispersed within soil,
lays the earth over in
teeming abundance).
only alone,
in the air,
where the earth
fluxed and rolls,
thinking some
of empty.
