Landscapes of flesh
mountains built of muscle and bone
valleys formed of skin
these bodies of darkness
are bodies made of light
We are life giving birth to itself
in each and every breath we take
moving like waves in an ocean
in this deep watery womb
we are fertile clay alive
Every day and every night
circling around
in an ageless endless spiral
inhaling and exhaling
all of us giving birth to our tomorrows
all of us embracing one life
