LAVENDER REVIEW

Landscape
Lisa L. Moore

---

I dreamed that I was made of sod,
tits up, my furry mounds set here and here.
 
Worms nestled in my woody roots, coneflowers
pink and hot adorned my hills. Kirk says
 
we should be golden orbs, not messy
mortal meat. But I have done this giving
 
birth, this glistening verb. Nan-ye-hi,
in Cherokee, on meeting Franklin: 
 
I do not pull children from rocks and trees
but from my body. Therefore listen.
