History of Storms

Long the earth has held me
I have slumbered here
It sheltered me in its cold embrace
The winter falls further away
Retreating before the sunlight, thawing the snow
Warmth penetrates the chilled ground
Slow to wake, I feel a thirst
Icy water, no longer crusted snow, obliges
A great sustained drink sates me, my desiccation left from a deep, prolonged Winter

The gently baking heat calls me
I shift
Softly twisting
Uncurling my fingers
Unbending my limbs
Pressing forth
Exerting little energy
Encouraging the ground to shift
To release me
It relents

I consume the glacial melt with vigor
Smiling inwardly, I am finished with my grand repose
I have lingered at Rising too long

Gathering my feet beneath me
I fix them firmly and reach
Wriggling
Writhing
Wiggling

Playing, stretching, dancing through the dirt

Until I burst forth
Alive and breathing the air

Naked
