,
she is full
of storms, swarms
of wind and rain
and sea.
Show(h)er

these trees to loose
her sway.
Give her a sorrow
-song to swallow,
the banks of a river
to show her
the way.

I love the image of a woman being twisted and squeezed dry. And she’s not just full of water; she’s full of storm.
And also: strum.
Makes me think of the game of blind man’s bluff where we were blindfolded, turned until dizzy, and then pushed in a direction to start us off to find each other …
I love that comma in the beginning. I’m not sure if we should really twist her, though 🙂
