Daniel Edward Moore
__________
My professor said I might be the first to be consumed by delicious verbs
layered between leather syntax and inches of cream before it melts
down tall hard peaks beneath a dark hairy sky.
But what if I’m just a studly nerd asking a pronoun to open wide,
to be my Red Sea, split by my staff,
liberating metaphors with lust?
Like any farmer with a shovel and gun looking for a break between line
and safe, I want to be changed by the field’s wild hymns
of a thousand bulls spraying the ground with an aria of horns
engorging the world with words that had to be sung.
