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 so cold and clean
one drop anoints thee,
so what begins as desire
ignites this body,
as deep and familiar
as cells dividing,
memories unfolding,
dreams remembered,
of a life as She.
