Woven Moon of Sun Straws
When earthly heavens paradise lost
the serpent pulled apart the last of the sun straws
kept safe underground with larger brother sperant
avoiding the sun on the warm sunstraw bed
As the community bore to the various global areas
so the evening warmth had to also bear
behind the snake whose head could be raised
the most alarm additioned to the warmth saved
a woven moon could locate the diamond head to warm
my crawling taught moved slowed around the ground
its plant limbs frayed and mauled by rock climbs
one word it cried punishing itself by endless time
and until its last warm breath strained
"Eden!" it lauded from reeds indulging the pain
