She came
From the raining clouds
She kissed my forehead
And breathed
“Patience…
Soon…”
Unfurl me slowly
Make me your woman
From this terracotta child
All in due course
In the meantime
Lay me down
For hours
In the undergrowth
Plant your seed inside
The world of our love
Turning so unordinary
Let me live here
In the greeting
Of our spirits
My body moist
With nectar
