sometimes i am alive because with

(and from my thighs which shrug and pant
a murdering rain leapingly reaches the
upward singular deepest flower which she
carries in a gesture of her hips)

-e.e. cummings, from sometimes i am alive because with

Earth and Rain

"At night I dream that you and I are two plants that grew together, roots entwined and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth, since we are made of earth and rain."
-Pablo Neruda
