Meet Earth
EARTH- MARCH 6/13
O just arms! where
went thee?
thy voice is null
though near as
breath
Why?...the bird i
let fly
same i never find
You hide life from
sight
but let spirits
glide
So low, you watch
men
a mute enliven
Where is your
sceptre?
How old is your
time?
Sitting still
...sealing secrets!
Am lord...am earth
My skin is brown
eyes without doors
My hair is dust
I strut with pride
a blow, you go
On my lips lie no
lies
My charge is balance
My labour is
timeless
...cooking and
stirring
belly with fumes
test my taste
In truth is bitter
Gold diggers!
before they were...i
was!
beasts i sneezed,
green i coughed
i bury all but one
...truth!
Justice, however
old;
assured will marry
she cried a river
...by me, she’ll
walk aisles
adorned for a kill
the ring her prize
she is bride
and i...vow!
