Wild, Orchid Heart

Buried in the backyard
of someone else's dream
nickel smell of a newly
turned soil
oh, the choking roil

spring
summer
fall
leaves collecting all
ivy planting
roots chanting
& a lusty cloud
devouring the
silver glow
of a rapturous moon show

tickling
prickling
a new bud did grow

ashes
to
ashes

lightning flashes

dust
to
dust

angry sky mimicking disgust

old heart buried
now becoming one
with earth

& in the seductive glow
of a ruddy sunset
a wild heart did rise
throwing head back
thunder now in my eyes
wild orchid
sighs
