Personal Sod

Sudden starts
Beget boggy arts
Marsh impressions made Matisse

In the swamp of a self
The soaked bookshelf
Is a record of imprints

Bled through the page 
Into a sort of change
More of a sand-through-hourglass

Sort of transformation
Than silica to dust 
So fertile this soil

Meaning can grow
Among the rocks 
And feral cat urine

Aware of its fortune
To be on an earth
Rather than feckless space
