A cold spring day

  You know how when you walk

Through mud each up-step

Involves a suction-pop telling

You you’ve left the earth

One step at a time, she being

Unwilling to let you go?

You might try dying


And break loose, but

She’ll hold you fast to

What she needs, and if

God lets you watch your

Remains, you’ll be 

Appalled.  The mud you

Slid through becomes you.


In all the earth there is a

Great coming back to what

Will be whistled out of 

The wind, and in that 

Bristling sound all of us

Will sense the force before

Which all of us answer.
