I was the cliff you fell from
Stony face implacable
As gravity claimed your high minded
Attempts to deny him
I was the earth that rose to meet you
Shattering your dreams
Into a thousand glittering shards
Upon that mountain you believed
Was only a mole hill
I was the rain that fed the pool
Where you filled your empty cup
I was the sun who warmed you
Burned your skin till you peeled like a birch tree
Exposed your clean pink layers
To an eager breeze
I was the flesh you consumed
My juices hot and sizzling
You cooked me with rice
And sucked my bones
I was the song you sang
Out of key
As you did the dishes
Watching robins dance
Outside the window
I was the dream you never had
That fruit, never tasted
A poem you never wrote
A chance you never took
The woman you never loved
Now I am the moon
And when my gravity sways you
It is only the tide
Not the pull of my iris
