Fences painted by the acid of the sky
field after square field
multiplying toward the incline
that cuts them off into the air

ferns of the soil's feeling
blowing on a cracked ledge
what the roots understand in rot
as I hold in my hand your glowing embers
jewels or some clump of hair
you left behind
to gather me like a twig
in a rolling snowball

to set me up in some galactic ray
and melt me true to form.
