OCTOPUS FLOATING

by Bill Knott 

Octopus floating

in earth’s ink-ore core

whose arms extend

up here as trees

may your branches squirt

their black across

my pages please

UPDATE: Not long after I posted this poem I heard from Bill Knott with a heads-up that all his books of poetry can be downloaded free via his blog. Awesome. Thanks, Bill.
