Earth Body
Did I use this physical life
or merely carry it --
like porcelain
cracking quietly
from inside
Smelling secrets
in rock formations
Mycelium speaking
through wet soil
Something beneath language
pulling roots together
Building through fractures
not walls
Nobody watching
still
I leave marks
All roads
bend out of sight
Pause between branches
after the wind stops
Questions returning
like crows
Again
Again
Hearts giving --
receiving
Sharing fire
without ownership
No final answer
Earth
breathing through us
