he pressed leaves into my palms and spoke with a face half hidden in darkness of mold and loneliness
he didn't hear me calling with my rain dance
and must not have heard me calling with my golden green song
we'll make it your body, then
we'll do things your way
until I can't hear you anymore
as you wave from the tops of trees
and I can't stretch my neck any further to see which tree says what
but he pressed leaves into my palms, and that should count for something
seeds of fertility, or roots of origin
salvation from the rain, or relief from the heat
but nothing
I grow exotic flowers and fruits with the tears shed over you
lifting up limestone and alabaster, a heavy place to hang your head
and I still think of you when the slams, breaks, and lazy collisions all roll together, and the days fall clap, clap, clap like dominoes off a table, and I am languid with you
slow and reluctant, getting out of bed in the morning
there are days when I feel there could be no end to you
and all that is you, and all that could ever be you
and everything that will be you to come
you have made me wild
brought out the wolf inside of me, inside of us all
the giant animal shapes we tame and domesticate
flashing a full moon on us without warning
a bomb going off in my chest
a galaxy of stars exploding
a giant redwood crashing to the earth
and I am just so happy you are home
