The earth
Adorns herself alternately
Her thick foliage of green and
capricious ebb and flow of blue.
Each shard of the sun
Weaves her a garment for
her curves of mountains and gorges,
Like a layer of dense air.
I start unwrapping her layers of drapery.
They are plaits of soiled bedsheets
Branching out from her midriff like
Tributaries of a river
Near its delta.
She hides herself
In different layers of meaning
Through its mantles
Like an epic revolving around
A rainbow-like narrative axis.
