She is anchored
to this endless plain;
her hair trailing,
the dress a filling sail.
The hills are a half smile
reaching to a purple haze;
the river peels the bank.
She stood for a moment
then reached for the earth.
It blew from her fingers
and she spun and raised
her arms and her voice
became the river and the wind

This is wonderful, John, the sensuousness of landscape. I think it’s one of the best!
