I'VE UNRAVELED 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 [bad word] DILATING MY LIMBS,
I'VE DISENTANGLED FROM THE WOMB OF THE EARTH LIKE
WILD WEED
I RISE PRIMIGENIAL LIVID DAUGHTER OF CREATION
I RISE PRIMIGENIAL LIVID DAUGHTER OF CREATION
