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
