land light

there are in these lands mountains
trees clouds faces laughters
that capture light that
last stretch of day
before night
catching glowing rays
as memory lingers
passion kindles
barriers dwindle

this land breathes fire salt
water wind the humus of decay
the mineral of rebirth bones
to build upon flesh
to extend as sunlight splashes
falls like water feathers tears
suspended in animated drizzle

it's an existence of hardness like
mountains push the sea
softly the green leaves of light
perch their birds branch roots
rivers stumble run their way toward
the sea the
immense coffin watering
graves we came to dig

as it happens this place this
land is last light hovering
atop every everything atop every
thing under
the sun the
sea rejects the glisten the sea
hides its own secrets
buries its own dead sometimes
spitting bones sometimes
inviting you to dinner

this happens every day this
dance this light that dark that
equally disproportionate split
between distant lovers two
deep purposes in flames in transit
between light dark between
water fire water stone and everything
is illumined is
part of this land
