Day Before Interviews

A Poem by R.E.K.
"

Garden of a girl

"
Search for 
A little hint of 
Moisture in this 
Dry dry soil 
Empty of 
Growth and love
Barren and unfruitful

Dig deeper 
For I am certain 
I can bring forth 
A stream of water
So delicious and so sweet 
From within this earth 
Beneath all her suffering 

And I will tend
To this earth 
Like she is a vineyard
Ripe and overflowing 
With cane tipped wine 
And tender produce 
And stories of couples meeting 
In her groves

And I will promise this earth 
That she will not be run over
By the many birds who peck 
By the many ruffians not much older
Than this earth herself

And I vow to her
That I will not stop digging 
Until she is irrigated
Until in the morning she appears 
Just as lush and pruned
Just as healthy and in bloom 
If not more
Than all the other properties
Than all the other girls

I kiss this dirt 
Embrace this earth
Rejoice in her lack-of
In her empty 
For it is signal of what's to come
Of what polar opposite she will bring forward
Although, I am not without fear 
As I write these words 
I'm quivering 
But I will not let that 
Stop me now 
She is fertile, 
She will grow.
