If I were Earth by Henry Dumas
If I were Earth by Henry Dumas
Each tear that fell from the crushed moons of your face
stabbed me broke and split into one thousand pains
but I held out my arms and not one, no not one pain did I miss
and if I don't let you soak into me and bring me up
and if I don't let you seep into me and let you teach me
then you can cry in the morning to the Sun
and tell him to burn me away..
