Mother (Earth)-
Show me your grace,
ease,
like thick liquid
pouring through every
space and crevice
of my anatomy,
scouring away
resentment,
anger,
fixity,
polishing what is light
and bright
and love
within me,
like a river whose flow
is so cold, and clean,
one drop anoints thee,
so what starts as desire
is embodied, embedded,
within this body,
as deep and familiar
as cells dividing,
memories unfolding,
dreams remembered,
of a life as She.
