harvest

pulsating
grip
wrestles to the ground
thy heart

bare
flagellated
round

beating in the unflinching fist
of hand

as blood drips
into the open wounds 
held within

love
 seeps into the core
of all that is desired
yet despised

 ruthless
in pursuit
for truth

yet its
soggy 
heartless
whine
is held in the air
 seeks transparency
it cannot hide
from thee

 woman 
born of blood and soil
 can take the longing from
lips
 plant them
amidst arid desert

 grow life
from death

love cannot turn for long
fallow fields await 
planting

love will come
birds will fly home
we will reap
the harvest
sown
