Earth Poem by Leslie Philibert

Earth



Under the singing ploughland
that sucks at heels;

a crush of half sticks
warm cake of moss and water
the dark loam broken.

Bones as flint
and flint to cut.

But they have it all;

rivers and mountains
and palaces and streets
(rain as white wine,
stars as gravel
the moon`s rock)
and the foolishness of glued wings.

The tread of cruel steps.
