O sweet spontaneous Earth

(Note: a revised older piece, formerly entitled Glorious Is.)

 

finding no glory or victory in the news channels,earth/sprung 

triumph out of her own breast/earth sprung up

stillness & the smell of goodgooddirt/earth

sprung!

the sunsprung leaves/bled/mud in gratitude.

flies, it seemed, came out of nowhere, & found their own favorite circles of air still

waiting to be

glid on.

the world bled mud for gratitude

 

i thought to have seen more children than did show

laughing in the  blidmud/but

i suppose

there were lessons to be learned in desks

& when they come out again, it will be raining.

 

while the earth bled bliss in the blidmud and the sky

kissed the cloud on the cheek like thinking & the mud

sprung up blud into the above & the air

smelled like dirt-likegooddirt

there didn't need to be trumpets

there didn't need to be parades. there didn't even need

to be flowers, even,/yet.

 

glorious is, was, was when the earth had decided to spring the sun

& the sprung sun/spun the world to special

& sprinkled sparks &

strummed our chords in all the simplest, in all the right ways.

(go back & just do that C major, don't

fancify just play us some

& the sun is not so visible

like dirt/ &/

Second Street: Chapter one

     The morning air is cool, though not quite cold yet. But I can definately tell it isn't summer any more. I hurry across the street, ignoring the din of angry people laying on their horns. Who cares? I'm late for school. I race down the sidewalk, trying desperately to keep my hat on. I have to squint to see obstacles. Who knew the sun could be so blinding?
