Literature Text

She spent weeks for all I know, polishing her claws and stinger with a lion's mane.






Her skin spoke of the sea

and the waves to pour from her trident tongue.




But, words are not made of wood or iron.





You said that what we had was like art.
So art I have made,
violent and unrelenting

by the love of the shaking earth.

Spacing gives this piece mental gravity.

Words settle like heated heart dirt ash on the skin,

Adding a layer of feeling that drys, cracks

Or worse still smudges when attempts are made to wipe it away.
