Intimate Earth

Find me dancing, pointed East
Join me ’til we touch the West
Ice-bound North to shifting lights
We bare our shoulders heading South

You spicy rivers, flowing black
Oh peaky, jutting majesties
Please, in-betweens dusted with grit
And sweaty moss, hold fast my hand

Oh, Flora

I’m not afraid to tell it
How the flora on my left
Likes to brag to all the fauna
That she’s taken with the West

Maybe ’twas the mountain 
Or the headlands on the coast
Who touched soft upon her shoulder
And of whom, ’til death, she’ll boast
