Discovery

by Alice Parris

Discover

My land

Like Lewis

And Clark;

Explore

This yet

Virgin territory.

Discover

How I am

Fearfully

And

Wonderfully

Made.

Map out

Your course.

Strategize

On how

You will travel

Around

The curve

Of my

Shoulder,

Visit my

Twin peaks,

Encircle

The crater

Of my navel.

Explore

The molten

Cavern hidden

Between massive

Thigh mountains.

Uncover

The location

Of my hidden springs.

Take your staff

And hit the spot once,

A trickle

Will come forth…

Hit the spot twice,

A stream

Will begin to flow.

Hit the spot three times

And be prepared

For a geyser

Of mother-lode

Proportions.

Once you

Have claimed

This territory

Of mine,

It will

Forever bear

The name

Of its

Discoverer;

Etched in

The flesh

Of my

Yielded throat.
