SUNDAY POETRY: "OCTOPUS FLOATING"
























Octopus, Victor Hugo. Image courtesy Wikimedia Commons

Octopus floating
in earth’s ink-ore core
whose arms extend
up here as trees
may your branches squirt
their black across
my pages please

UPDATE: Not long after I posted this poem I heard from Bill Knott with a heads-up that all his books of poetry can be downloaded free via his blog. Awesome. Thanks, Bill.
