water under roots

water under roots

A Poem by Katherine Martin


     To encounter a face
rumbling mechanisms I also keep
My heart adapts again
on a similar operating landscape
     The joints go squeak squeak squeak
under the weight of asylum dividing
     The bolts pop and gleam metamorphosis
on top of fire spreading its wings
    My eyes lean indiscriminately in
to The New World of Falling
Where sprawling tongues rapidly meet
Where beginnings fold into companionship,
    as water under roots

For an inheritance all my own
I search too softly for this place
of distant merging,
   Of water under roots

   We browse each others sex
and admiringly extract and jar the others Fruits.
Then line up our preserves
   Sideways. Against gravity,
for the winter to come.
   We borrow each others sex
and glance at our previous states of outstretching art
then detonate our nerves
  all ways. against gravity.

The hieght intisifies toward the inside

to touch you

translucent dialects fill our bodies with space

to leave earth

this is all the moons creativity

underlined by our smiles branching off the horizon

our irisis flit on the tips in the wind like little leaves

we loose the jolly invader, Time
To touch you
To leave earth
Our insides only anchored by these limbs
 As water under roots
