Earth As Woman Poem by guillermo veloso
Earth As Woman
Giving, full and ripe
Brazen treacherous
Jealous of her seas
Worn and new
Babies at the nipple
Thighs wet with the tide
Callous and loving
Pitiless and pieta
What secrets does she hide away in her locket?
Heart shaped boxes/at ocean’s bottom
Love the mysterious nature of earth given here; and especially the line, 'Pitiless and pieta'. What an amazing vision.
