Someone walked over my grave. The corners of the room keep the shadows, and the dim light reveals moving things I wish I could not see.

I fear the sparrows outside as insects crawl beneath my skin.

I feel Mum's embrace, remember screaming, and now I'm in a white room.

Lost in morning fog the headlights give me away Fresh wind on my face

Nature Arrives

Walking through the office door Me, out there in the swirling autumn leaves Inside, a new mask for today

Trading nature and her beauty for the chance to find meaning in a title I feel the wind in my hair

Nature followed me wind and leaves moving Bewildered colleagues

from the tropical north snow and ice greet a stranger no racism to be known

a calm freedom watching the sea_thatch with new eyes noises so foreign

to appreciate the difference coming to love the ways of ice and snow no longer foreign, my home

Building into the grief_of_the_elm_tree Feeling the buzz as the animals flee from sight Standing under the sky for a little longer

Beginnings and endings come together a joyous rapture thunders through flesh and bone in the distance, lightning hits the old tree

An explosion of wood sensations of gooseflesh and clarity Another tree hit closer

Fleeing for home

a cry from within You're all I have left to love please take me with you You quell the maddening day You illuminate the night

The Warning

a difference in the weather unforeseen changes the moss carpets our land

the wound-starling visits talkative, we feed our friend a spectre may haunt us

the sound of horses' hooves soldiers on the horizon we follow our friend to watch

a soldier lights a torch fire licks and devours our home our friend remains still

Gregory Orr, “Ask the tree or the house”, How Beautiful the Beloved

[Text ID: “That music has been playing Since you were born. You must be mad to resist it. Always the beloved Surrounds us. Eager to dance. All we have to do is ask.”]

The Photographs

A quiet gallery No need for words in this space the photographs fill the silence

Taken away Feeling the anemoia pulling me watching a scene from the past

Loud thoughts My thoughts are louder than bombs thundering through my experience

entering as one person, exiting as another evolution in the gallery

A Tea Dream

The kettle whistles your teapot and tea leaves dance Lid and tea cosy

Dreaming after work immersed in a Roman Bath Loving Yorkshire Gold

Tea tickles your thighs milk, sugar and tea inside Rosy amber glow

The Shovel

Not one for gardening you feel compelled to wear Chanel a showy pearl necklace

An upmarket designer wheelbarrow bedazzled gold shovel Odd looks from passing strangers

Memories of our Land

Lightening strikes the old tree; alone in what once was a forest.

Our lives changed forever that day; a displaced people, a genocide.

When the wolf arrived, we listened; we respect the power of the bears.

The settlers didn't believe our stories; finery and position were what mattered.

The blood-soaked soil grows corn; burning fertile fields from a dying planet.

How about in 2024 we stop it with reading books with the goal in mind to finish the book so you can add it to your list of read books and start reading books slowly and intentionally with the goal to rip it into pieces with your mind and be touched by it and formed by it and changed by it
