She Is; She Grows; She Wounds; She Heals; She Slumps
1. She Is...
Dark warmth engulfs her
Suffrage bruises, pulls, and pains
Open, blinding bright
2. She Grows...
No one hears our bliss
Limbs hold fast the dewy dawn
Larks chirp happily
3. She Wounds...
Reaching through his heart
Plucking strings there, sound sound sound
Finish not the song
4. She Heals...
She left them behind
Inhibitions run amok
Open, wild, and free
5. She Slumps...
Teardrop falls, brown limb
Horizontally forlorn
Edge of orange and fire
