Excerpt
Gaia by Mary Carroll
Do not follow me
to the blind corners
of my discontent
let me work alone
Wait for my sun to break,
for my southern wind
for the icecaps to flourish again
When this wakes me finally,
then do, do follow me
I know the ways of the meadows,
the beauty of flowing water
I know, I made,
all things equal
I can show you if you wait,
Wait until I've ended discontent,
and leave the hidden ways,
and reach for your hand.
