DEATH SEEKER

The veins of the Earth
rooted and ravished in peach
seeps in fields of spring
The hum of the sun
fills full
deep greens
as I lay you down in golden leaves
With eyes closed and soft cheeks
a purple collar holds your neck
with fingers

With my hand upon your chest
I reach in
past the physical form of you
Your lungs-
He filled with air
Your heart-
He pushed and pumped

Wrestling branches breathe in and out
exhaling life's last breath
All eyes are watching
