New poem at Wild Roof Journal alongside many writers thinking deeply about ecologies. Thank you to inspirations large and small: bird voices, mountains, Community of Writers, deer families, unpaved roads, the mountain lion that said hello mid-draft.
Thank you Aaron Lelito for including my work!

Read 2 poems from Melissa Powless Day's new collection: wildroofjournal.substack.com/p/a-bow-forg...
It's a journey of Indigenous reclamation, exploring identity, belonging, responsibility & wholeness. The author navigates her ties to the landscapes of SW Ontario & the nations to which she belongs.

Thank you to @wildroofjournal.bsky.social for inviting me to share this essay and revisit the strange beauty of String Theory, Quantum Mechanics, and those vibrating filaments of energy that make the universe feel poetic. That fine line where science starts to sound like mythology. ⚛️🪬
