Her soul is a wounded fountain
wavering in the radiance
of broken rock

flowing like the roots that are near
a tree under the earth
is in her hooks and breathing.

Stern hollows are sung by blood
stern songs of the wind carved desert
its arid pride laid down
before her violin of water
and reluctant yearning

for granite unmoved by breezes
molded nonetheless
by a fierce wind's breast.
