Kerri Shying R # 562 Spring reminds

Spring reminds

the communard of skin   of bare whorls
footpads  dirty on the path
hands  after the brush
to take that layer of black soil from where
it sits   reverse french polish to the hands

time to plant   parole the body
from the swaddle
feel the difference
of water
below the navel
and above

like a child screech eek
walk home slow
sat inside the air the earth the minutes
like a stone
