Mar. 6th, 2004 12:16 pmin her heart she is silver
at full blending with the night
and the wind pulls the earth from her feet
toes making shallow roots all too tiny to strangle the ground
she is good at letting go
the multiverse stretches her apart
distorted facets and off kilter sparkling
there is so much to do
there are worlds left to drown in
the gleaming is a warning
she wears tarnish like an antique
bent spoon
rusty knife
turning to rot from the inside
outdated outlived
she used to hold the elements in her hands
cupped in for safekeeping
now left with mud and steam
a dirty lover untouched by rain
an aching pit unused unwashed
she sinks in
fingers desiring gravity
doing at last what the toes failed to do
rooting in
dancing with the worms
waiting to be flooded out by spring rains
pushed up
and warmed again
