She stifled her passion
with a bone cork
and Earth became
a rocking jug
with aching sides
and tears
that leaked through cracks
.
and there was naught
but a dry, brown light
across the sky.
.
And when the gods looked down
they cursed
and pulled out the plug
grinding it to dust
with their fists.
Earth trembled and roared
in a great awakening
of heat and light
.
and in her heart
there rose
an endless rainbow fount
of love undamned.
