There is a girl inside. <br />She is randy as a wolf. <br />She will not walk away and leave these bones <br />to an old woman. <br /> <br />She is a green tree in a forest of kindling. <br />She is a greeen girl in a used poet. <br /> <br />She has waited patient as a nun <br />for the second coming, <br />when she can break through gray hairs <br />into blossom <br /> <br />and her lovers will harvest <br />honey and thyme <br />and the woods will be wild <br />with the damn wonder of it.<br /><br />Lucille Clifton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-a-girl-inside/
