"Tell me..."
"...what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) Poetry or prose
Tell me...
The Sun asked of its child, what will you do
with your one wild and precious Life?
she moved slowly, around the thought,
another day, another year yawning at the girth.
Oh! to let it all hang, now, but she measured the waist,
Seems all the forms have spread, from the equator belt
Some sort of pull between North and South, perhaps
it is time for a corset and girdle, to hold it in, and
ready myself again for the annual Solar Ball, whence
the other planets line up, to dance amidst the stars...
Rumor has it, maybe it's someone else's turn to carry??
