Never Let Me Go.

the wind lofts me
from the yellow dying heart
of the Mother.

three sisters together
in the air
with memory only of clinging

now that we are naked
& aloft without pod or soil
keep us close

silky strands that bind us must
never pull apart lest terra incognita
smother me in strangeness all alone

but forces are cleaving us
even as the sun dries my tears
and I let go

and fall into strangeness and rebirth.
