Poets & Astronauts

Head astronaut
exhausts
the extra
of the extra
asks Houston
to send twenty
new superlatives
in tomorrow’s
mission summary

I go outside
just after dusk
right away
smell the word
petrichor
then curse
ever learning it
try to claw
my way back:

dirt parade
swamp sheen
loam spritz
stone soup
moss licker
fossil dig
fern sweat
god’s mouthwash
culvert tryst
matcha latte
moon-boot dust
fairy door
leaf sneeze
nymph bidet
adult baptism
deep south
virgin mojito
lusty aubade
treehouse envy
say ahhhh

We all have our limits
