Mole by Naila Moreira

Shovel claw. Deep digger. Diver of the dark.

Nose-for-eyes, cruising the soil’s truffly fragrance,

a scent like cold ale, trapped between grains.

Walnut and chocolate, biscuit, apples, wheat,

a malt of time, the color of tea.

Little earth chaser, blowing your bubbles

under weeds and gardens and fungus and roots,

my mother hates you, you kill her flowers,

swimming through dirt like an ocean of stars.

You hump up the mulch over tunnels and secrets.

You row your black boat of silken fur.

It’s you who stir at the core of the world,

burrowing your wormholes at the very toes

of the great God-tree.
