Moss

To fumble, the stingy tongue of a thirsty cat.

Damp, primordial, always flowering, 

I grifted and grazed an uncut lawn.

In a sour summertime.

The order given, drawer open, 

The words sank. 


To irrigate, the reeds and weeds, I

Thrusted into a cul-de-sac,

Above me, the skyline of spongy grass 

approached,

Signal for unsolicited rain.

Drips, nets, roots, 

Itchy bellies and untouched necks.

Moss. 

It was about to fall.
