My Earth Was Singing

How does an Earth sing? 

Well, swelling,

Slow flowing

Grow, tongue

Wetted songs.

Earth shift,

hum 

and hum

rhythm smooth, 

Soothe, groove.

Cool her 

silhouettes, 

shade worn 

hour long

angel drift. 

Earth: hum 

beat

and beat

Until the light and heat

Of Gabriel and I

Ask to quench their river

on Earth’s cauliflowers.

On Earth’s groves,

On Earth’s skin,

On Earth’s still sweet score,

On Earth’s still sweet core.
