"Good Morning, World!"

1. The reclaiming of waste, desert, marshy or submerged land for cultivation or other use.

My walk today was to the beach

where storms of yester-year

came to reach

the dunes I trod

-mountains now-

strata exposed

to show My Ears

The Word

“rec-la-ma-tion”

to echo clear —

I walked home

to turn the page

Eye am The Woman

of glitter and gold

Eye have entered The Age

of Silver

to have and to hold

The Age of indifference —

Eye will never grow old
