TALK

The talk under the stones
motion in soil
roots dance
oblates of water
seeking

      their lust

the talk in the sky
wind claws rattle
cloud stretchers
pluck at sun
large
      and giggling



the talk in the belly
soft foundry sounds
walk giant crucible
alchemy survives
beneath the skin
blood dances
blood carries

      a voice
      ringing
      in the glass on the table
