Poetry: panning rush

a man made of leather looks back wonders then wanders I swallow a burning pomegranate common rocks sloshing in the silt of my weedy water

panning rush

a man made of leather looks back wonders then wanders

I swallow a burning pomegranate common rocks sloshing in the silt of my weedy water

please come back

sift away my murk and unearth my gold

in spring
