The Earth opened her mouth and swallowed me whole
She started with my feet and moved slowly to my heart
I felt my muscles relax as she chewed, chomped and tore me apart
She jabbed at my eyes, she scratched at my spleen
I cried out for help but was never seen
I'm under her fingernails, smeared on her face
The scars on my back can never be erased
I gasp Quick! for air but could not breathe
From her loving arms I will never leave
The Earth opened her mouth and swallowed me whole
She keeps chewing and chomping
but she'll never be full.
