do not get stuck to the ground.
roots run deep.
but, sprouts reach towards yellow light.

twist me up
wring me out
leave your bare hands raw and pink
spotted flesh
let the droplets of me pucker the soil below
little craters
of what was
what is
and what will be
me
puncture the ground
with your force
and gravity
let me nourish the sod
let the things you didn't want to say wring me out one last time
as dampness squirms
lacing your fingers
you fight back
don’t let me weave through
wont let me mix
pleats hold the moisture
inconceivably permanent
nature evaporates
in its own measure
i sit in a cocoon
waiting for the sun to rise
phthalo blue is transforming to mauve
and here the possibilities are endless
i am fragile
just go home
cut your hair how you want to
bit by bit
chop
gain anew
make sure to wash it down the sink
leave behind the light hairs
the ones you cant catch
sitting on the rim
