“Vermis Equinox” by Barbara Sabol

It’s not air or escape
from saturated digs,
so much as the impulse
toward creation that lures
the earthworm back above
ground – the flaccid grass slick
as a just-born, under
the last few shards of snow.
Worth risking the robin’s
beak, the groundhog’s grubby
clutch, is the writhe along
the length of its see-through
segments, each link purposedriven:
one to burrow,
one to digest, and two
to ooze out a cocoon.
Either way, for breath or
love (blind to the difference),
they shimmy up, powered
by five miniscule hearts.
Each muscled ring a clause
dependent on the next:
God’s first articulate
terrestrial sentence.

    Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?

    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform
    like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely
    overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of.

    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly
    do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without
    having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However think about if you added some great visuals
    or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this
    blog could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its field.
    Great blog!

    This design is incredible! You most certainly know
    how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was
    almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!)
    Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and
    more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

    I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never
    found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
    Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made
    good content as you did, the net will be a lot
    more useful than ever before.
