Ik
White
Resonant Wind
I hear the Call
From an eastern Gate –
From Roses on the Vine
Lightning flashes Foot to Head
Settling in the Belly –
A slow Burn of wild Desire
I feel a Call
Lifting me from the Desert
Out of Drought, into Moisture
Gone the dry Brush
Gone the burning Sun
Cool Breezes fly through me
I know this Call
I’ve heard it before –
Before Locusts ate my Passion
Fresh Water flows
From an Oasis
My Thirst is sated, my Hunger
ceases.
