 My body is erupting     now that it is safe I am volcano lurching     l ava stumbling down the mountainside rather than flowing My body is cracking earth     partly from multiple orgasms     partly because the ground was stripped bare Never laid fallow, and practically sown with salt My greatest act of love is to explode     t o trust our homeland enough to shatter There is respite with you Enough so that my body breathes     and breathes     and breathes I shake with rising wounds     s wallow apologies you do not want to hear The only one ashamed of my breaking is me You can see far more easily -      w hen I am hip deep in tectonic crashing - the fertile soil erupting in buds from new turned earth I just need time     and tending     and time
