All I am is a woman of acres, Spread far and wide
enough so the sky knows
it can be at peace when gravity fails
You are the sky
I have grown under your warmth
Allowed my shoulders to fall gently
in the yawn of your mornings
This is not to say I have never been a battlefield
It is to assure you all I have lost and won
Is buried here
All this blooming is my reward for exchanging landmines for trampolines
A flightless bird finally learning that steps are spell-binding
So, I claim all this magic
Weave myself a garden worthy of your dews
And sing my incantation into this flowering
