Poetry, Essays and Art By J.H. Dickinson from All-Creatures.org
Leave me be
Leave me here
in green fields.
In gentle breeze,
and sound of heartbeat.
Deep bellied groans,
bleats,
sweetness of life.
Let me be
as I am.
Born for none
-but me.
Eyes observing
ochre sunset,
sensory-afire world.
I do not belong to you,
my body, my bones
-my own.
I am not like any other.
I do not see, move,
enact on mass.
My body.
My soul.
My moment.
Leave me be.
