limb by limb

[whaleandbear]

i am very moved to remove my shoes and walk into the hot sun.
my feet will mesh with the ground.
my toes will grow into roots.
soon my body will take hold of the deep earth below.
all of these bones will become rigid and fixed.
the arms from my sides will praise the sky.
hair will turn to leaves.
hands into branches
eyes into knots
skin into grain.
i will give back all i have taken away.
i will be a sight to behold.
useful.
