Should she
Shake you with outrage,
Leave your vast abyss agape,
Be insolent enough to isolate,
Presume your bolts alone dictate—
Then sputter your thunderous rain;
Mark how she howls against your scorn.
.
Should she
Dare be irksome still,
You clip her thorns,
Drape her in all you adorned,
You mold, have her reformed—
Yet she gyrates until she is nude,
And lifts the land in spirals torn askew.
.
Why should you
Try to prune her winding vines,
Swathe her in a dignified guise,
Yet relish in her skies?
Perhaps longing for such a life—
Her dauntless smile, reckless wiles
For deep within your caverns
You know she will plunge the dive
You would dare not try.
