On a day when the sun
shone through the pixilations of mist
I watched you
hidden by
my own curiosity
You sniffed the dew dangling
off a four leaf clover
and licked the dirt off
an earthworm
with the flick of a forked tongue
Squatting with
thighs bulging,
you bounced up like a frog
itching to meet its
dinner midway
in the sky
you lifted your hind leg
like a dog wanting piss
molten yellow gold
your foot twitched twice
to the right
And then stomped loud enoguh
prompting
Thunder to yelp with fear,
A volcano to pee its crater,
And the earth to rumble,
All protesting your rude awakening
The ground cracked open-- a egg cracked jagged--
And you skipped into the
ravine of the unknown
yelling "I'm home"
to your second cousins... twice removed
I blinked three times
And stood to trip
home so I could help my mother
make lemon bars
with a salty crust
