Description
Spill the Milk
Suddenly the leaves come out all at once
I long to drink the air but swim in the dark leafy pond instead
the underwater presence of fish strangely exciting
I’m young again on the farm the herd is out on pasture
only this time I talk, laugh
and sing much more
Eat if you must dog, I don’t mind
kick if you wish cow, I’m free
the milk can flow and sink in the ground with me
