Aug. 2nd, 2004 12:09 pmthe wind picks up
moving through the space between her ankles
curling cat-like into the small of her back
in her skin lies mythical beasts
fighting for fresh air
chipping the stone off her hands
this backwards carousel slowing down
her horse rising and falling less
tide moving back to sea
seaweed hands letting go
leaving her free to trace the stars onto the sand
polaris, vega, forgotten galaxies
palmed into her hands
they blink like fireflies
she prays for the will of tornadoes
for rain to wash her clean
she aches to move again
for the quiet that it brings
moving through the space between her ankles
curling cat-like into the small of her back
in her skin lies mythical beasts
fighting for fresh air
chipping the stone off her hands
this backwards carousel slowing down
her horse rising and falling less
tide moving back to sea
seaweed hands letting go
leaving her free to trace the stars onto the sand
polaris, vega, forgotten galaxies
palmed into her hands
they blink like fireflies
she prays for the will of tornadoes
for rain to wash her clean
she aches to move again
for the quiet that it brings
