The Uninhabitable - a photo on Flickriver

The Uninhabitable

            The mountain knocked against my bones
And I invited it to take over
A vast visitor
Making space inside me and tearing my terrain apart
There is no gall left nor a spleen
Useless body things
I traded my limbs for valleys and slopes
A fortress of trees to guard me
And snow capped peaks that cause 
The people below to gaze in a cerebral wonder
Shiver and exclaim
“I bet it’s freezing up there!"

You cannot transform me anymore
One day you reminded me that the cells in one’s body 
Change over completely every 7 years.
Now, it will be 700 
I might even get angry and erupt
Emerge like if Joan of Arc was a landscape
And everyone I know will be dead.
