Like the Worms Do

Taste the earthiness
of this day
like the worms do

Mortar between
the sunrise
and the setting
that will rise
in the night.

Dress in a gown of stars
made by your mother,
perfect in every way,

and dance
as if tomorrow
was only
a dream.

Grit
between
your hungry
teeth
devouring
each moment
as a sweet gift.
