Somewhere out in the yonder is Miriam, a woman who decided she wanted to shed her shoes and feel the earth between her toes. She lost her clothes and became wild again, running through tall grass and slipping into swamps to feel the algae lick her skin and the silt sift through her hair. Her family had given up on her long ago, knowing she would never return. She had run with the animals for too long, scratching her back on trees and licking dewdrops from the clover leaves.
When we stopped to look we had
no clue
what we were in for
A bored sigh of a spot,
perhaps.
Anywhere in America will do,
really. All anyone needs are some
trees
and stuff.
We were shocked into existence
by a majesty on beyond man
a caddywhompus cacophony
of grandeur
Leading out into the yonder.
Our eyes felt lucked out to be in their sockets
and our heads became soft
Fuzzled with the
peach skin of Being There.
