I Stand Up
Unfurl [as fungi]
Loft into the sky [as forests]
Bring life back to air
Bring life back to earth

Life, Laughs, Green.
Unfurls
deep memory
I am the fungal air vents that throw my spores to meet the winds

The past blows into the present
I am the soil thousands of miles away
Replenished
Life, Laughs, Green.
Unfurls
deep memory

I am the sand
ancient memories of life
I am the wind that swirls the desert dust into the living sky
Swarms
Scatters across my body
Atmospheric rivers bloom red
plumes of mineral dust
An offering from the distant past

I am the diatoms, that once drifted in an ancient sea
now a desert, in the Holocene depths of the Sahara:
the cratered sand floor of a paleo lake
a reservoir of dust, between paleo shores

I am the reefs that sing summoning wanderers
I am the larva of coral and fish drifting in the open ocean.
I follow the music of a thriving reef
calling me to my new home

I am the 🌊 that caress yr skin
As my body warms I thrash+tear deeper
deeper into the seabed
deeper into myself
deeper into my past
My fury casts into the sky
ancient memories frm the deep
biosedmnts
Calcified remnants of ancient life

I am the waves spuming with life
I am the spirit in your breath
I am the air-sea boundary
The frisky interface
Dynamic, Volcanic, Galvanic
I breathe
You breathe
We breathe

From oceans above, to oceans below
My lungs
My heart
[How do I care for you?]
I am the moon that gently pulls on your skin
I am the flowering tides
My currents pulse like arteries
My veins bloom blue-green

I am the trees lofting microbes to the sky
I seed my breath with life
Cast a spell
[Pseudomona syringae]
to summon atmospheric rivers back from the living air;
I call back the rain
From oceans above
to oceans below

I am the forest
rivers streaming water from the soil into the sky
Here in the sky water has a secret name:
A microbe
so perfectly shaped, it nucleates ice directly from vapor

Soil Stands Up
I am the soil that stands up,
unfurls, [as fungi]
lofts into the sky [as forests]
I am the forest feeding on the sun.
I breathe
You breathe
We breathe
How do I care for you?

I am the soil
[I am alive]
I am the rootless plants
[bryophytes]
that retain water
I am the wet sediment that becomes mud
I am the worms that wriggle
I am the cracks that grow
into rivers
veins across the skin of the earth
[my skin]

We are the alchemists
the earth shapers
the architects
We are the lichen
the fungi
the microbes
the chemolithotrophs
metabolizing rock into soil

We have burrowed into the heart of the Earth
Drilled into the clockwork of the planet
From the atoms
forged in the stars
I create the minerals
of life

Two miles beneath my feet
Life eats Rock
Draws energy
from Metal
In these sunless tunnels
our ground is their sky

Vibrate in collective effervescence

[How do I care for you?]
I stand before you today, nourished by ancient oceans
Warmed by ancient starlight
My body, a site of journeys and transits, portals and interfaces
A chimera

I feel like I’m missing something
but what am I missing
I am in superposition
My body is an animal alive in the present
But my mind is trapped in the future+the past
I dance to a pulse inside me
that did not begin w me
