Ding!
Is that you
Texting me?
I wait
Be cool
Let thirty seconds pass
Before I cross the room
To pick up my phone
It’s a fucking ad
For solar panels
Just
No
Cloak
I was looking for my cloak
But it wasn’t outside of me
I am the cloak
Housing my nervous system
Containing my blood
Protecting my heart
I was wary of the wolf
But it wasn’t outside of me either
I’m the only wolf now
Stalking my own vulnerability
Ready to trick me
Eyes glinting from the shadows
I wanted to show love to my Grandmother
But she wasn’t outside of me either
I am my grandmother
She is in me
And the reverence I show myself
Honours all of the grandmothers
Whose stories I breathe
So I filled my basket with goodness
And I carry that treasure within me
Self-nourishing
So that I may stride
Upright and belonging
Into the forest
And in the clearing
I seek my healing
And my healing happens
Through relationship
Through connection
Through safety
I am here in the clearing
And I see that you are here too

Tree
Tree
In the forest
alone I stand
surrounded
by the held wisdom
and cool release
of all my fellow trees
Our shared experiences
touch us differently
but the sky calls us all
upwards
as our roots reach
ever deeper
to nourish us
we grow
together

Garden
In my garden
Weeding
I look up and gasp in awe
At the beauty of the view up through the tree
“Imagine being one of the creatures lucky enough to live under here!”
And then I realised that I am.
