April is Made of Copper
~~~~~
April is made of copper
there is nothing there to stop her
she is heads up tales lose
flip as a coin
her hips can join
or boing somewhere new
~~~~
April is made of ash
of burnt photograph
volcano’s sour
erupting shower
April is made of ash
~~~~
April is made of clay
dug from our dry river
bed
when April said
“sweet dreams”
and fingers fled beneath the sands
to claw her back again
moist, molding, and firm
skin copper red
mud bath
burnt in ash
hardened in the sun
April come...
coppered in clay
"pot-ash" she play
nothing stops her
she’s made of copper
