Topsoil

My sorrow
has a direction...

flaming lilies,
dark feathers,
the depthless shore,

the unwritten word.

It is not enough
to love a page

of verbs, of ink,
of grave-

the topsoil.

Perhaps, you
were right...

poets
should never
mate-

what of their
offspring?

I like this a lot except it doesn't end quite right for me but still a nice poem.
