reach your many arms toward the sky
and splay your crooked fingers
feel the water rush between your hair,
through the mud and the algae-covered rocks
sitting at the bottom of your veins
see the beauty of this body
from the eyes of a swallow soaring above
feel your lightness swell on the wind
taste your soil in the mouth of an earthworm
who savors every crumb
