alien, alien

an earth spilled you soft

onto meadows of grass

and arms lifted you up

with bottle neck glass

boiling deep foriegn squall

of aluminum shards,

hardened sweat celebrations

strewn over the yard

remember these nets

and this slickness of sands

is strange to you too

a strange set of hands

that pulls the sky from you

and forgets how to breathe

and stills a soft meadow

your mother's bereaved.
