She smelled of dew and earth
the must of pond scum and saccharine stalk
her hair like reeds and tangled weeds
a pile of wild growth
her eyes like muddy water reflecting
the sun and green plant life below
her skin glistens and beads with salt and sweet
a scintillating topographic treat
her mind like soil
rocky, murky, muddy, fertile and teeming with life
her heart like an aged turtle
young and hard on the outside, wise and soft on the inside;
She is the dew and earth.
