Mudpie

trickling over cracked earth
tiny courses of liquid
in grasping-hand fashion
dampen and darken dust

earthen lips wait agape
after anticipating the influx
of gratifying flow
on dampened darkened dust

pure clarity adulterates
with grounded perceptions
as the liquid itself
darkens in dampened dust

concepts float momentarily
suspended in the flood
and soon find bedded wombs
in darkened dampened dust

thoughts germinate swiftly
and raise from the storm-brewed
chaos and its effects
in dampened darkened dust

thoughts bellow out
throw off dried out husks
and seek anew from being
in darkened dampened dust

hybrids are sprung from
loins incited in juice
poured out by gods onto
dampened darkened dust

'tis nectar that moves in
and through the solids
for a brief moment
in darkened dampened dust

'tis nectar that changes
the fallible forms forever
in the inevitable path
of dampened darkened dust
