Lavish

When the Earth makes love

When the Earth makes love

We lavish in it — dancing Into the mystic, building A better day, reaching For the sun, and riding The waves of the Milky Way In search of tomorrow When tides change Full sail, onward Into the dawn

To where the girth

Of Mother Earth Shifts within her Tectonic hips And the volcanoes Of her many beaus Meet her oceans In orgasmic Proportion, and water Cools the lava and ash

After the eruption.
