She danced the clouds, the twirling sound they made across the frosty sky Her eyes the wings of birds and the shivering clumps of stars at night The grass in between her toes and the bees stung upon her cheeks Pearly tears on pale blue lips, crying at the way the Christians seek
If God is real, my legs have scales and I glitter in the shallow bay Then the sky began to rumble and that God then tore her legs away With hair on end and and eyes like sweet apple pies she thought She fell asleep in a watery bed with pillars that were iron wrought
Still so surprised at being caught she lay with fingers stiff in thought Is this my grave with creatures scaled and plants knotted and living taught She realized then she had been wrong, inside her chest a stiff grey heart Turned her face up to sky and let the rest of her body be torn apart
