Drought Fishing

_________________________________________________

 

hover her hover her your love hovered in spurs

conquer, always beaten  into soiled soot

my feet are whisking the desert floor

my hands are a gelding this cactus' thorns  

lace, rosemary, time and vines

cover him cover him my thin frame covered the cures

 

 

the Urals moaned to their Himalayan friends

through wind they spite each others mighty forms

but still they're friends, both Mountains, chained the same

Ergo spell; tell me have the Tibetan chants gained their grow?

 

I'll never know him or she as long as they move East

I am rot in June as deliberate as a sun on sand by noon

**** you

stuck

you

are

in

wet

mold

mildew

 

I dried the flask

peeled a mask

burnt the rain

sent the pain

 

 

How daring of you to respond as a washed up un-sterile pond
