Touch the muscled arm
of this manured field.
Extraneous
beauty emerges. Why
afraid?
Even a hummingbird's wingspan
can tussle with the sky.
Houses sing
in a distance of sleep.
An inside-out sea
urchin is a mind opening
like a sky.
Off the future canters
in pink fur slippers.
My bones are never hollow
of oceanic grief.
