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

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.
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.

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