small song
there is a tree on the moon
an apricot on mars
an olive leaf on earth
in fear and trembling
i mouth these words
and seek these impossibles
while i write myself into a hole
deep in hard dirt, deep
enough that i can’t look up
to see the sky, see the moon
see the winking wandering
god of confusion nearby
