by Andie Lovins

winter rain 

smellsofdirt 

something 

vaginal 

i wake myself
so slowly
i let these
pearls
saturate my tongue 

drown me 

with their earth wisdom 

i am muddy
with
remembrance 

but holy
rain
i send her everywhere 

i ride on the back of 

her truth 

the shutters thrown wide 

a blossoming
she’s in me now
i’m scrubbed of 

all that
now
i am the storm
