Who Am I?

by Lea Tonin1

 

Can you sense the turn beneath your feet?
I am the turn
Can you feel the rain on your face?
I am the rain
Can you smell the air in your lungs?
I am the air
Can you see the forest with your eyes?
I am the forest
 
Can you touch the ocean with your hands?
I am the ocean
Can you taste the food with your tongue? 
I am the food
Can you feel the grass between your toes?  
I am the grass 
Can you climb the mountains with your legs?
I am the mountains
 
Can you feel myriad wounds bleeding?
I am the wound
Can you feel the drill of untold holes searing?
I am the holes
Can you feel panic when your lungs are removed?
I am the lungs
Can you feel Earth explosively cracking?
I am the Earth 
 
I am the Earth weeping
