A Boot (2003)

beneath the sun there is a blade of grass
three inches tall, and striving
he worships up, desires to
the sun, is only for him, perhaps
the planets turn around
the sun, for this peculiar
slice of life, a shred
the sun changes direction

in six days the world will end
six days, and i will forfeit rights
the blade is helpless, innocent
but arrogant in his desire
an eager boot will block his precious sun
from him, submitting him to
a firm pressure. she is running across a muddy lawn
unknown why, but now in shadow
then crushed
