Portrait of Laura (The Broken Ground)

The opening out and out,
body yielding body:
the breaking through which the new comes,
perching above its shadow
on the piling up darkened broken old husks of itself:
bud opening to flower
opening to fruit opening
to the sweet marrow
of the seed -
taken
from what was, from
what could have been.
What is left
is what is.
