Sexy Under the Snow<\/h1>\n

by Robert Knox<\/p>\n

OK, so the rain is tickling the earth
\n‘Good.’ ‘Maybe good.’ ‘Not so hard!’
\nHail? You give me hail? It’s April!
\nI want a soft touch, an easy touch, a slow hand<\/p>\n

I want thousands of little rustling feelers
\nbrushing my hard particulates
\nI want soft breath on my healing biota —
\nI’m talking biota, honey,
\nWho’s got more of that than me?<\/p>\n

I’m talking mild precipitation, babe,
\nthat old “swich licour ” and “shoures soote”
\nto open my heart
\nAnd the let the lifeblood flow
\nAnd get the green jet running<\/p>\n

and birthing multiples and multiples
\nuntil “summer is ycummin in” absolutely all over
\nand I feel fine<\/p>\n

###<\/p>\n

I’m a husband, father, freelance writer for the Boston Globe, rabid backyard gardener, and blogger on nature, books, films and other subjects based on the premise that there’s a garden metaphor for everything.<\/p>\n

My poems have been published recently by Verse-Virtual, Guide to Kulchur Creative Journal, The Poetry Superhighway, Bombay Review, Earl of Plaid, Rain, Party, & Disaster Society, and Semaphore Journal. Some poems were also accepted for the upcoming anthology “Peace: Give it a Chance,” and a collection of poems (“Gardeners Do It With Their Hands Dirty”) will be published in 2016 by Coda Crab Books.
\nI am a staff writer for Verse-Virtual.<\/p>\n

My novel on the origins of the Sacco-Vanzetti case, “Suosso’s Lane,” was recently published by Web-e-Books.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
