The worms throw themselves
across rain’s asphalt altar
and awake
when the ecstasy ends
to find their god has gone
and sacrificed them to the sun.

    You always use so few words to say so much. So beautifully.

    This is wonderful. So vivid and big. Yet with just a few words. I love it.

      Thank you so much, Micah. This was one of those surprises that arrives like a gift and doesn’t need much assembly 🙂 I was delighted to unwrap it and put it on the page.
