communion with trees
called the cursed, malignant girl
crying to the sky
church bells carry her body
killed by a feverish priest

Imaginary Wish
longing for fairies,
magical creatures, and a
rare nature magic
caught within the mundane world
an imaginary wish
Garden Party
Soft garden party
Grandma spiked the stock last night
They can’t stop laughing
a giggly bubble wild lunch
lost in the afternoon haze
Wandering
a restless spirit
the unfulfilled potential
wandering alone
unable to move on home
keeping the trees company
Angel of Ukraine
exhausted angel
slowly falls apart from war
a wing gone astray
hands lay still in the rubble
weeping tears of blood alone
Turn
We turn our faces
from the sun that burns our eyes
The sun will still shine
We turn ourselves from the one
full of seethe and destruction
Saucepan in the Sky
watching the night sky
finding childhood memories
the remembering
feeling love for your siblings
the saucepan constellation
Italian for a Day
Caught by the sunlight
Mortar and Pestle pummel
a little pesto
Today you are Italian
flour footprints and sips of wine
Saturn Comes
Saturn comes for me
I watch myself start to change
Lost motivation
I am conscious of failing
Does the Law matter to me?
Forest Music
drums from the forest
Nature’s bass is low and deep
ancient vibrations
The humans from long ago
Their spirits fill the forest
