To Move the Earth

by Isabel Dorn

I wish to move the earth -
to ignite a revolution on a Thursday night
to scream my manifesto in a crowded basement
to awaken in the fierce embrace of she
who will hold my blazing heart without burning her fair hands
who will look upon my flames with the most ardent of loves
who will kneel beside me and nurture this barren soil
as we build our miniature Eden
