"i don't think this next poem needs any introduction-- it's best to let the words speak for themselves"- Billy Collins, in his poem, "The Introduction."

wish 

give me
this concrete this dirt this green (grass) this blue (sky)
but pry my eyes open
my lips open
my lungs open
(because)
i want to swallow the sun
as it lulls me to sleep
(in its circles,
its darkness.)
i want to breathe the sky
choke on clouds
down the blue
the sound of blue
has yet to be heard
and the dirt...
i want to become the dirt
(and i will)
