on sprouting - impaled peach lyrics

Loading...

again the clay, again the seed and womb
and cradle, pregnant by and with herself;
again the sh-ll: the uterus in bloom;
again descendant from the leafy shelf

the seedling, memory in shallow birth
sprung only from the tree she will become
roots where she bent her elbow from the earth:
the hardy hand that holds the apple’s thumb

again the root, again the stem and breast
and pram; what loves the tree if not the sprout?
the hand-me-downs again are hemmed and dressed
again the branches flourish up and out

the poet, reaching skyward now as then
is just a little bough again

is just a little bough again, again
