my body aches for what used to be
as she acclimates to what is,
i wait in a limbo i've never met before
there's a sombre silence where tears used to fall
my youthful fingers would catch them
before they reached the earth
but these new emotions feel deeply rooted inside that dark place i sometimes go
the salinity inside me travels as it should now
toward the earth who bore and nourished me
