The War


The war was over 
my body 
the land between my legs
the resources in my heart
considered finite.

But we were confused 
because you can not keep me
I will die  
and my body will go back to our mother
she is the only one
who can claim me
my body is not mine or yours
it is the earths
every secret of the soil 
in the curves 
the openings 
to the universe
hidden in the dark spots
and you can dive into truth 
with violence or love
violate each secret
or bow to wonder

Seeds are planted from pain and rape 
and from the most tender hand.

but the love of the sun will last forever

and for now 
I can give it to you
