we watch the brown dirt
rich and full
under dead pale stems
piled grasses
grey leaves, dull
skin flakes and cruft
from a remote appendage
a forgotten hangnail
on mother earth's toe
And even the sky;
Oppressive, fat and suet
spits on our mother
speckles of bright white
icy monuments to dereliction
to her abandoment
and Mother smiles darkly
her heart malevolent..
