earth

growing weariness.
old man winter’s heavy thumb.
keeping my frown down.

the frosted wheat land
covered in pure white icing.
take a bite of earth.

in the old lizard
eyes, I walk eons of time
in just a quick wink.

frosting on the cake.
round and moist and succulent.
take a bite of earth.

dragged by tooth and hoof.
unzip the head from the neck.
blood on primate hands.

swimming in dry ice.
thick eons of foggy nights.
light lances distance.
