SPILL
I am a rain scented woman today
tired inside heavy air smelling peaches and then biting into them
barefoot along familiar paths not sure who I’d like to see
or what I’d hope to hear them say
the sky has been splitting apart for days
air grows thick
saturation presses back against its source
and as it all falls to wet against my skin
as all trails of feet purpose
are watered invisible by the split sky I am not wondering about my path
It’s just the world that falls in perfect drops
feeding on its own exploded concentrate
and as one saturation spills into another
I am wondering why this body of mine is not itself exploding
into endless falling facets
Why
as heat thickens air condensed inside me
am I not transformed into the million wet and tiny blessings
my steaming body aches for
