i am shaped by water
shaped by rain
shaped by wind caressing me
like a lover
from the small of my back
to my shoulders
running long fingers
through my wild roots
even when life hollows me
i am not empty
i am filled with light
rattling through my bones
like antelope hooves
like quail murmuring
like the grooves and the thrum
and the drum of song

dVerse poetics: an unpunctuated poem
“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” 1 Peter 3:15
