shall we wriggle legs under cool, velvet water in a blue cenote?
trees roots from above where ground-ceiling opens to sun
somehow ancient and extra-terrestrial spaceships all at once
slippery rocks and ledges, racing heart as you swim across
but there’s nothing beneath to pull you under, the rocks are tame
little fish nibble on your feet as big ones lumber by
you can see to the bottom if you take time to look
the cave walls become warm and friendly
inside the belly of the earth
you are a smiling baby again
the world is perfect
Stunning piece Amy!
Lovely development from start to finish.
