Obedient to No One

photography by Susa SilvermarieI am seven, I stamp my feet
to make the silver metal thunder!
Below, the water bellows
as it pours beneath the bridge.

I stand erect, know myself a giant,
screech in giant glee!
I bridge the worlds – placid millpond
with rushing running roaring river.

I am Girl alive with grace,
power with no need of name.
My body joins the muscled flow
obedient to no one.
