she was wild before she
knew the word, lost in the world
of trees and flowers and believing
that the wind couldn't
knock her over if it tried; storm-breather
lungs loved the way the sky tried
to speak in rumbles.

spring-born summer-girl, she
was the last one left
standing at the setting of
the sun. she was the one left
staring at the
dirt and wondering what can i
create out of nothing
when she had everything she could dream of
stuck in the clouds above her eyes -

and she was a girl who was
born with the heart
of a beast, born with the freedom
that we can't find on our own;
she learned to love like the wild ones do, learned
to live the way this world
learned to teach her -

and she remembered how it
said that even winds
can become tamed, but how naming the
oceans never calmed their tides;
still she just smiles
and dreams of where the wild things are.
