Poppy foot

Body to earth;

sky to earth;

mind to dreamworld.

Crepe-paper petals

stroke and shatter

the bluest of light.

Fleshy tow tendrils

root out from foot

digging and dredging.

Presence shaded and laced

drifts, dives and dangles

suspended in sight.

Foot to ground;

mind to sky-stream

petals the passage between.

My poppy-feet are paperweight

and lighter than the flood

of pictures falling through

mind's silvery sieve.
