I don't think tunnels can go this deep: The way the oceans part-- Starfish foam, bubbling for air.
I saw the moon bleeding, So many hidden cries. She shouted: "No fair, no fair...No fair..." And now the polished skeleton Bones glisten in the sun.
Taken from the dusty closet, One by one by one. Alongside a black journal, No embellishments, No lock to conceal shame.
Pages of her history, Like collected pages of The suffrage, and at the Very last page, her dream's name.
Italicized like lies fresh oyster pearls shine. Glistening in the frost of the night, The soothing heat of her mind's height. Tunnels can touch Earth's spine.
"Earth's Spine" from J.L. Harlow's book of poetry "Dragonfly Island".
