I've unravveled green tangles
   with talons dirty of earth
   I've pulled up, lacerated,
   I've moulded me like mud
   I've dug, removed tumuls and roots
   I was rooted to the earth
   I've modulated me in the deep slow flowing
   of the underground seasons
   I've taken shape like a shrub dilating my limbs,
   I've disentangled from the womb of the earth like
   a wild weed
   I rise primigenial livid daughter of creation
   I rise primigenial livid daughter of creation
