Water Table
Eliza Griswold
 
My earliest wish was not to exist, 
 to burst in the backyard 
 without violence, 
 no blood, no fleshy bits, 
 mute button pressed 
 alone behind the rectory 
 where no one would see me. 
 
This wasn't a plea to be found 
 or mourned for, but to be unborn 
 into the atmosphere. To hang 
 in the humid air, as ponds vent1 upward 
 from the overheated earth, 
 rise until they freeze 
 and crystallize, then drop 
 into the aquifer2（蓄水层）.
