I hear your joy before u tell me why. I guess what troubles u just after hello. I know how u love the fog. U know loneliness. U wait for the longer light of spring just as winter solstice arrives. If u could, you'd go back in time to garden sooner. Sunny days are more than just weather.

all roads lead to roaming - from riding the waves, a classic not leaves of grass, not proust, but a lesbian wandering through menopuse tale about grief, hope, raucous gods, and the red thread of longing #poetry #memoir #birds #climatefiction #solarpunk

Never fear that there is no creative energy left in you and that your time with the palette is done. Do not fear the void. Fold it into your process. from bird dreams, riding hope. And it's not only dragons that ride on the dreams of birds. We do too. #poetry #creativity #creatives #birds

You might not know to mourn. After all, birds still soar. You might not know to feel the hollow ache of loss for bodies of water or animals & fish that have gone extinct. After all, the eagle still guards the river. And the otters still sneak past the mystery of the river.
