KISS THE GROUND

KISS THE GROUND

I sink through

the cracks in

the pavement as

I kiss the ground

my feet plant firm

and suddenly

I feel like an odd

sort of flower

deep below the city

everything tumbles

over me a frenzy

of sound my roots

cannot comprehend

and my petals reach

upward to lick the pavement.

yesterday - tomorrow
