RETRIBUTION

What if you owed sadness and so

became it?

Are you not indebted to everyone?

I’m asking

what if the debt were sadness?

What if when we walked,

we didn’t say,

this is Gaia’s breast,

but, this is her sadness,

and the mountains made sense,

all the moving plates,

earthquakes and volcanoes?

She pays it forward

and you’ll pay it back.

You will lose your body to

sadness at a point

like a temperature

and then you will wake and wake

and wake and wake and wake to it.
