after Gwendolyn Brooks’
“To the Young Who Want to Die”
Laid a head down in the din of
grasses gnashing with buzz bugs
creepers and chirpies
Bushes of birds match the Weltschmerz,
polyphonic pullulating
heavy with teeming
wet green wringing spring right outta
the earth so forth froths a warmer coming
a sweetheart’s hot coze
Deathbed verdure in a drawn out
climate briefing on the subtropic
afternoon snooze
