actionpoems

poems based on richard serra's "Verb List Compilation: Actions to Relate to Oneself"

[actionpoems]

to roll

A cycle Of sod, and ice cream wrappers, And dust flying In the eyes of the sun

My brain rattling In my skull Like cicadas in the leaves

Blown full of laughter, And hot wind, and Blessed by grass stains With an onslaught of dandelions

Give me a hill On an afternoon in June And I’ll show you all the ways I’m alive.
