Zen/Anger
In the ground I sit
Counting.
On the ground I stand
Humming.
In dreams
I am full of hips that sway side to side
Full of my own soul
Full of my weeping
Full of knowing.
Someone tries to take a scalpel to my curves –
Chop them off
Surgically remove them -
Angry that I represent
Gaia,
the living breathing Earth,
swaying and undulating under Her ground cover.
A huge female giant
with long white tornado hair
in a midnight blue
negligee
sashaying across the lighted Universe
Holy
In her deep appreciation of Herself.

Thank you Steve. Can you say more about how the title doesn't serve the poem? I appreciate your input.
