land of flora and fauna

I never noticed
the rip in the sky,
or,
that I was walking barefoot
on blades of heaven

damn if it (heaven) didn't
fall through that hole
while I was searching hallowed ground
for sinkholes--
was it one eye-blink dream
or two
between the rip
and a landscape
perfectly manicured,

and resting on
serrated edges
that prick your skin
until you
inhale
in a vacuum

kiss me now,
and speak silent
into wide-open eyes--

walk barefoot
with me
in green grass
where blades bend
beneath steps;

can you?

yes, oh yes,
I know you can,
and if you do,
I'll love you
until time
becomes the moment between
beginning,
and
now

"And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul."
Pablo Neruda

my favorite verse by far!

Really liked the one eye-blink dream.
