30x30 2012: a napowrimo experiment

Inspired by my more prolific colleagues, I'm doing National Poetry Writing Month again. I hope to achieve draft I can find useful! But some will, I'm sure, remain draft. O bring back the egg unbroken.

Gingerroot

A mouth draws

with water
Its image burns with a warn

This copious

horn,

unjust multitude of rhizome

Fist and fingers

like it's real

Flasking in the night

Planting
Belly up

Scale it to prevent growths

I have scales of it all over my hands

she has the blood of reptiles

No, it's food blood

but damn I'm good at self

service
