Period Poem
I want to live here
With the wild things.
And let the untamed beast within me be set free
Wolf howling to the wind
Inhibitions scattered
like the ground and powdered ghosts
of ancient tormentors
Long forgotten.
I want to lose myself to the night sky
Feeling silken darkness brush against my skin
So permeable I am to its seductive caress
That I disintegrate to nothing more
Than the faintest whisper of stardust
My laughter dancing across the constellations
I want to be free
to roam the woods by night
Barefoot and feral
Prowling, low to the ground
Intoxicated by the metallic tang of dirt
and primal liberation
Heady in my nostrils
I want to move
with the rhythms of the Earth
beneath my feet
Breathing so that She may breathe
I dance so She can dance
I sing to give Her voice
I give Her my hands
With which to mould the world
And my eyes,
so She can witness Herself
As all Creation
