Subject: A Ground Full Of Turtles

one of my more famous pieces, though just written by like 3 people, I still feel it has "famous" possibilities, I think, well hope, something like that --

It is called, A Ground Full of Turtles, for you reading pleasures, Al

Your body so moist;
tainted, and dark

with shadows in rising
like the stew, melted
in the pot -

so lean; in the
mornning

with windows open
that remark:

there isn't, enough
food to eat

and grumbles sifted
like quaint heaps;

Devastating,

my world:

Barren outside,
and cold;
where skinny trees grow
and wisps of leafs
afraid
with poor eye sight
to leave

but cling as the stubbs
of grasses, and all
the invisible:

particles present,
there, for mercies
glow; it low

The great uprising of the land sea and
water; to hear

faint distant ruminations
near, and the fountains
to glow all liquid
as inner,

the fibers

The night so optical
and faint
an illusion
has breath

like spiders
that flurry so
the neighbors surrounding
and heaps of leaves
that we must
retrieve

cast upon the hole;
buried

I see you in the distance walk
talk of items
misplaced
and distant
puffs

of blueness

clouds,
arrayed
on the horizon

like teams of mules
to wander oasis'
sounds -

a land I'd care
to enter
there
midst walls
of gowns

so golden
upon the stakes
so olden

sun shall always
be in my eyes
and latches shut
to what wanders outside

in airs with eyes
and flocks of birds
all misspoken

the path of clean soil
rewoven

and turtles
that litter
the ground
