Mimosa Pubica

Here I am
Your mimosa pubica
When your footsteps were far away
I lifted my head 
Opened my heart again
And in cognito among the grass
Rise from under the oppression of your shoe
My weapons are peace
My leaves unfold their embrace of your cruelty
And opened me like a heart to love more deeply
From where I am
