A tulip’s soft whisper


And the shiver of a cool spring rain


You lay in a field


Collecting dew and raindrops


With your fingers, clawlike


Digging into the earth


Trying to root yourself


Your head is flowing with stardust


And your eyes, black


Are drops of crude oil


What have you done to become


This drowned creature


Pale and Blue


Hair like seaweed


While the rain


Dissolves your body.
