Dispersal


The dandelion seeds of the summer
Of have spread through December.
Everything mockery
I remember how the lips closed
And pushed air
To shatter the globe.

Now it is winter
The trees disrobed
In their ceremonial gesture
My fingers missed splinters
Though my wrists were with rope.
Let my hands be sacrificed
Legs closed
And palms with the veins 
Elope over the table.

Nothing will grow
I am conscious as a failure
As two feet find the garden.
They are called my own.
The order of the day is to wake
Wear clothes, breathe
Pick up the seeds of  my pupils.
See.

Sow.
