I should be pushing up daisies
the way the charcoal
eyeliner sticks
to the fingertips
and the landscape
presses itself to the face
pale as moist tissue papers
readied for capture
always
a smudge off, from perfection
I would unbury these
blending stumps, or
tortillons,
to the surface
and hurry the seeds
with happy dew tears
