Round and full inside me
lengthening my being and augmenting this hidden place.
Stretched hide pounding in my chest
rhythm matching the flushed shadow of campfire.
dance on my brow
give life to my fingers.
Rivers clinging to fallen rocks
springing forth in baptism.
Renew me and make my heart a banner
My body to be branches voiced by wind.

Make me full like earth
and blooming.
