Yurt 2

Day 2
Another interesting day and a new venue at Growing Well.
Apologies for absence here, not much catch up time. Many thanks for all your comments and for looking in.

Earth - Derek Walcott

Let the day grow on you upward
through your feet, 
the vegetal knuckles,

to your knees of stone,
until by evening you are a black tree;
feel, with evening,

the swifts thicken your hair,
the new moon rising out of your forehead,
and the moonlit veins of silver

running from your armpits
like rivulets under white leaves.
Sleep, as ants

cross over your eyelids.
You have never possessed anything
as deeply as this.

This is all you have owned 
from the first outcry
through forever;

you can never be dispossessed.
