Untitled (rough draft)

I am on fire

I threw my fists into a mountain
broke into a thousand pieces and weeping
watched colossal rock

groan
shudder
split open
split to her roots

Weeping I peered in
to the dark
heart of the earth.

I have opened my mouth
listened to the talk that spilled
until the word horde was drained.
Uncapped, an agony burst
a groan untamed by expression
gave voice to the unspeakable parts
of myself.

I am split open.

I am consumed.

It resonates in my bones
the weight of one thousand languages
tens of thousands of meanings.

And weeping
I am reborn
far from safety.
