‘ceremony at dawn’
Added 2024-08-02 13:10:47 +0000 UTCthe chorus of cicadas
the emerald insect corpse
the gaping flora
and yearning vines
climbing towards light
/
a slender, dark-
haired girl — burning
mugwort on the porch
/
she lays down
on robins-egg-blue
wood; warming womb
with herbs
/
listening
listening
/
wide sky
narrow canal
unseen
angels
/
luminescent
whispering:
“root
to rise
we become,”
