Like Jack,
clambering the heights
of his monstrous beanstalk,
motivated by hunger,
she stretches her soul
towards the sky
pulling the weight of her body
upward
-- its emptiness so unbearably heavy
as to conspire with gravity--
tugging it through the winding
vines of cloud and stars
past an ardent moon
inspiring her on.
