EARTH GODDESS AND SKY GOD

You haven’t formed me. I’m a monster still.

Then give me your body. Give it to me in rain.

Look up and fill me. I am too dark to stain.

You haven’t held me. I hold apart my will

Spread dryness through me. I have a night to fill

in high heat-speckled waves, apart from where

I will come down. I have nothing to share

with breath. I will give it back. There is one to kill,

one to renew, and one to persuade to weep.

My night holds everything except for sleep.
