When I am murky with words
lost in glade of darkness
Remind me to lean to skylight
where a path
unfurls of wheat and yellow corn
When I am caked with dust
drowning in my own quicksand
Remind me to untie my shoes
I have wings
to slice the moon to crescent bows
When I am slipping with despair
walking with leaden knees
Remind me to unmoor my boat
I have hands
to parcel a sea of beginnings

each cell limbers,
stretching across the green expanse-
chew, grind, chew--
leaf by leaf,
crown, tail, limb of tree,
chump, swallow, chump--
oak foliage is
my bed, night after night
shedding skin, shedding
colors, spiny bristles
moving along like spongy train-
evade, wiggle, evade--
sting of hungry
predators anxious for a repast-
crawl, curl, crawl--
into the crevice,
where silky threads cocoon me -
wet wings wobble
as clouds spin
faster than fallen leaves, bug-bitten,
suckled dry, slug-defiled--
this dark womb-
i'll soon fly, remembering nothing:
earthly chaff & toil--
but the sweep
of wind on my face,
sun-colored & dazzling--
