IN THE LILA, SHE DANCED
She saw the world
Before it was
The snake in the tree
The spider in the web
She heard the world
Before it was
The earth's long sigh
As the seasons ebbed
She felt the world
Before it was
The sun on her eyelids
An outstretched hand
She knew the world
Before it was
With arms wide open
In the lila, she danced.
