weight felt in reverse.

I sit In the gray pixie
dust, its gold long gobbled
by the sun.

My green garb lets go
as if I'm a memory
It's held too tight.

I feel the breeze, the soil
the blood, and the pulse.
I feel my goblinĀ 
the mischief, and the moss.

I feel the humidity, the summer,
and the naked heat. I feel my size
the glissando, and my heart beat.

I feel the rise and the rise and the rise
and the fall.
I feel the hunger

and yank a carrot
from the earth,
wondering how anything could be
clean if it came from dirt.
makeshift,

The title caught my eye, really. I love it. And I very much enjoyed reading this work. My only concern is with the last strophe; I don't like beginning with "and". I think you could drop it and go with something more along the following lines.

from the earth
and wonder how anything
could be clean coming
from dirt.

Of course it's your poem and other than the last strophe I have no nits to pick.

Good work.

In your own, each bone comes alive
the skeleton jangles in its perfunctory sleeve....
