I met the Earth mother
in my daughter.

Naked we bathed in hot pools.
Strange, a reverse nurture.
We laughed in the water's strength
as ten thousand hands caressed
our forgivings.
We let go.

My womb birthed this beauty
and I found humility
somewhere between the volcanic heat
and her old soul.

She never met her father,
yet we knew him in the clay
and the dusk sky.
He spoke to us,
just a day before
when his brother held her
in the longest embrace.
The howl lodged in my ribs
when he held me too.

The blackberry bushes
held onto me,
asking us to stay longer
as we walked barefoot
away from the bubbling joy -
where we had closed our eyes
and were still
hearing our ancestors murmerings.

New generation. So proud :woman::boy:
I changed it a little.


I met the Earth mother
in my daughter.

Naked we bathed in hot pools.
Strange, a reverse nurture.
We laughed in the water's strength
as ten thousand hands caressed
our forgivings.

and I found humility

yet we knew him in the clay
and the dusk sky.
He spoke to us,
just a day before
when his brother held her
in the longest embrace.
My howl lodged in my ribs.

The blackberry bushes
scrawny fingers
caught me,
telling me to stay longer
as we walked barefoot
away from the bubbling joy -
where we had closed our eyes
and were still
hearing our ancestor's murmerings.

Another time and another season,
I promised i would return.
