Rae Desmond Jones


from the underside

earth tips slowly north,
            rising from her winter prayers.

she sneezes & a million roof tiles
            lift like dominoes as she breathes.

on a gust of antarctic wind
            yesterday’s news disintegrates in air.

across America long fields of corn
            are dying on the hot dry ground.

spinning along the cold edge of space
          a glass eye watches through a telescope
