"The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink." -T.S. Elliot


I long to touch the earth.

To hold it in my palms

and break it within them.

I wish to grab handfuls

of the ground beneath me

and throw it carelessly 

into the breeze above me.

I will grow from it something

that is wild and new,

something that cannot be tamed.

And I will let it's roots live within me

until I am the ground

in someone else's palm.
