Heart of the Earth an original painting from the Woman of Earth series by Roslyne Sophia Breillat

Did you ask
If you could dig holes
In the belly of her valleys
Carve highways
Through the breasts of her mountains
Steal sparkling treasure
From the depths of her womb?
Did you ask if you could kill her children
And play games of war in her sacred paradise?
Did you ask if you could pollute
The outpouring of her heart?
And did you hear her say “Yes”?
