Ala

Most revered,

essence of life

Borne in underrated poise but not abhorred

The weeping skies complement her fertile womb;

a buxom of bliss to green fingers

Bearer of cottages in the alps, residential roofs, congregation of petals, sanctuaries of green spines, pubic follicles, varying gestating gifts,

Polyglottous tongue to infinite cultures

Mind you,

we know not alone the chants of revenge

Mowing her hairs against her will,

and random abuse upon her rind,

perhaps awakes her evil side unstirred,

and when she yells in vengeful roars

her dance becomes a seismic event
