UP soil

when jim says returning to earth
his voice carries the soil his hands were in
his eye on the hands 
the hands the gods
the soil the stars

and again the ladies' eyes
grass to be cut
dogs to be fed

soil and spirit songs synthesize 
in the voices of the ladies and dogs
many times he sends the signal
through his type transmitter

other times returns to earth 
lets the voices pass on the wind uncaught
