Sinew

Bring thin membrane spirit
the body is ill and needs healing
Find it in finery find it in finesse.
Feathered stroke through lake light
lied dormant with fleeting scars
see the tight opalescent skin,
roped sinew wrapped story tucked under
spun around to reveal torture,
vile adults, spit filth, noise starved
curse spawns curse
and then she crawled forth
dirt filling mouth
canals trenched by wooden plows
rudimentary in creation.
