Song of the Invisible Corpse In the Field Poem by Gregory Orr

Song of the Invisible Corpse In the Field



And still I lie here,
bruised by rain, gored
by the tiny horns
of sprouting grass.
I hum the song of spiders
drawing, across the blankness
of my eyes, accurate maps
for the spirit's quest:
always death at the center
like Rome or some oasis
toward which all paths tend.
I am the absence
under your feet, the pit

that opens, toothed with dew.
