The constriction of abiding In a worn out hide Because unlike the snake I never took to scales My rebalancing Occurs On the inside We come into life Poured into a tiny vessel And identify with a face A body That is pure transformation A reflection greets the day We say Ahh Here she is […]
I thought it was grief Sadness It felt so heavy Important I sat with it for awhile Beneath morning stars Salt water Began to trickle Such was the pressure building This weight in my chest Crushing My heart flipped behind my ribs a landed fish trying to make sense of oxygen From out in the […]
Land Isn’t dirt It is something higher It holds It grows It breathes It covers itself in tapestries of wildflowers And allows the breeze to carry the seeds It is free and travels in dust Falls in love And covers my jacket My hands Fills the lines beside my eyes One day it will find […]
