earth

finger like black snake.
winding along the mountains.
cut off at its head.

dandruff in the sky.
cold ice razors in my eye.
bye bye sunny guy.

talking about things
that nobody cares about.
cash register rings.

gold leaves fall freely.
like gold leaf hammered thinly.
my kingdom is rich.

gray beard’s day of gloom.
the clouds rain and sigh and loom.
this my day of doom.

coffee’s throaty growl.
good morning breaking daylight.
are you sad or glad?
