lightning striking emotions I can no longer contain
burning my skin with your scathing looks for you have found another
smelling her lilac perfume burns my nose and cuts ridges on my hips
how will your fingers forget the heavenly world you traced on my body
your hands drew life softly in circles, birthing spasms
arousing me with your musky aroma after cutting wood at dusk

You are so cleaver my wise friend. Colleen it is a bit of both. It is symbolic in that it compares how we can take humans for granted just as we have (at least in the US) nature. Perhaps nature is the better place to wait out this worldly life. You are spot on. Colleen please take good care of yourself and just be real careful for a while. Stay safe my friend, I am sending you a basket of hiking pants, snow boots, wool socks and a picnic with all your favorite books and sweets. Enjoy them. Sending my love as always. Love Joni
