The Glowworm

Topics: classic

In slow sutures of pale white -         dabbed in growing spume & mud dried earth,         a glowworm is obliterated by warm, soft light         coming up to elbow particles of near dappled clay         that plants dissect, warm as feasts, aloft a muscat lawn.         Pale, segmented tortoise -         trite in area and jellied purpose,         the glowworm oozes headlong         through an aroused dark         necking furiously with fungus turds         and truffles rooted from the         pig ground by mice sized swine         holidaying on scents and mildew salvaged         thru pores & nestling bowels         of their planet sized turf.
