"Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky,
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit, I"

The rest
remembered "

cascading chartreuse grass
rooted in tilted terrain
crickets hum like strings
The plain is a stretched drum head

My hands
stroke
delicate tips
of grass

soft wind lifts hair
thoughts drive
I’m there
