Taking Down
November 24, 2011
Come down
from the sky –
for me
Into the ocean
Height won’t matter
Get down
off that horse
Now show me
How tall you are
Show me
Prove to me
you can handle
standing
equal
on the ground –
with me
Try to match
My power –
You can’t
Hide now
in the folds
of my skirt –
You child
Coward
hide until
I find you –
I will
Tell me now
after I’ve stripped you
of the height you hold
Tell me
of the power you have
If you have any –
none
