Flora

I've unravveled green tangles

with talons dirty of earth

I've pulled up, lacerated,

I've moulded me like mud

I've dug, removed tumuls and roots

I was rooted to the earth

I've modulated me in the deep slow flowing

of the underground seasons

I've taken shape like a shrub dilating my limbs,

I've disentangled from the womb of the earth like

a wild weed

I rise primigenial livid daughter of creation

I rise primigenial livid daughter of creation
