by Alicia Moore

 

In the moonlit mountain air,

I dance to the maddening

bass in my head–

bonfire ablaze at my feet

as I thrash my body in

the deep, orange glow of night.

Little glass bottles

of Ayahuasca

shake and clank as each foot

thumps the grayish clay.

I am an earthquake–

an inevitable shift,

and slide of tectonic plates;

a crumbling bedrock,

a sticky slab of middle earth.
