My childhood landscape was not land --
I cast off my identity --
A warm port --
"A very talented teenager" --
Stillness is a lie, my dear --
There is nothing more for me to say --
We are not what we might be --
The cultivated act --
All green dreams --
The panther's tread --
Paring her person down --
In a well-steered country --
You died like any man --
That landscape of imperfections --
A clean slate --
I am two people now --
Lady of the shipwrecked --
The moon is my mother --
I am, I am, I am --
Cauldron of morning --
Words dry and riderless. TOC
