cosmic/elemental sonnet

Hope, as it happens
I have nothing new
hanging family clothing
from old shoulders &
inhereted hips. I know
only things the parent planers before me know.
Old sewn stories growing in
, sound soil below
bellowing green seedling
, borrowing blind light donation
& great rain sensation:
an outer stellar cloud alert.

bursting outward all proportion
pulsing pulp propulsion.

AMA

the closest I can come to explanation
is implementation in every action,
an explication of your dream through me:
an unexcusable love.

I am your plantation
your constant production
a broadcast focused through you.
