Dancing Over Graves

Know now
What it means when
Lavender salamanders
Milky earthworms
And whiskered moles
Push their snouts
Through the earth
To tickle and
Massage these toes

Grass blades sprout
From a field
Of abandoned follicles
Bugs and grubs
Feast and fornicate
In the bone meal
While a deflated heart
Sparks wild nests
Of black rose

To no end
And for too long
Sought a rebirth
Divine revival
Or common reincarnation
Without the solace
Of first dying
