Oh world,
my eyes are blinded,
my tongue silenced,
take me and make me melt
into this noon sky,
this expanse of light and fire
and ocean air
because small is what I am
and small is what I will
remain
small hands, and small feet
weighed down by words
that don't know the way,
that sit between my head
and bellybutton,
pushing my center of gravity
low, low, low,
rooting me fast,
tight, cold.
