Amphibious
soul on watch
Heart turns on the timing of frog’s cry, to catch the light falling through leaves.
Synthesis
Midstream
So many shouts, cries. Each an attempt to be recognized by an original source. For if not, then what hope? In these wilds. We might be united in this want for some saving recognition, joined in the effort to call ourselves back, if only we remembered.
unmarked
territories
where were we after
leaving forever sea
deserted now

between gut and lung
where voice roots
defiant of confines
somewhere between
dawn and not yet
dark we pooled longings
in throats to spend them
when night came
our cry
