If they have lived in a wood

If they have lived on plains
It is grass rolling
Under their feet forever.”

Points of diving feet together toes pointed hands shaped right
To insert her into water like a needle”

From another world that seized her
From behind, and she gave, not lifting her head
Out of dew, without ever looking, her best
Self to that great need.”
