I carried Grandmother
up the trail with me,
to dance around the eight-pointed fire.
Threw my silhouette
up to the starry
Solstice sky.
Watching my shadow
shake out its weary bones,
I swirled through the constellations
up and out, around and down.
My shoulder-wings flexing
while my hands lay like dead birds
buried in my pockets.
Shake it out,
shake it out,
let the drums move me into the rhythm
that brings Grandmother back
where she belongs.

I do so love to hear from you - please let me know that you came to visit!
it has come to my attention that some people are having trouble commenting, and from what I could find, it seems blogger uses third-party cookies, and if users have them disabled, they cannot comment while logged into a google account. further, browser extensions like ad blockers or heightened privacy settings like tracking protections can block the comment form. I checked my settings, and the blog allows all comments, including anonymous ones, so...just know that I appreciate your visit even if you can't tell me you were here.
