you are the daughter of the sea oregano's first cousin
swimmer your body is pure as the water
cook your blood is quick as the soil
everything you do is full of flowers rich with the earth
your eyes go out toward the water and the waves rise
your hands go out to the earth and the seeds swell
you know the deep essence of water and the earth
conjoined in you like a formula for clay
naiad: cut your body into turquoise pieces
they will bloom resurrected in the kitchen
