She Carries the World

She cradles the deserts, scorch marks and blisters paint her arms.

She cries out the oceans, her eyes unseeing from the salt.

She holds the forests in her palms, tree roots piercing skin and bones.

She breathes the wind, gasping wails of pain.

She bears the mountains on her shoulders, bones crushing under solid rock.

She wears the sun upon her head, her hair catching fire.

She supports the ice in her middle, her heart frozen over within her ribcage.

She leaps from star to star, her bare feet cut and bruised from foriegn cliffs.
