Can you feel it?*

That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger

Divine and lovely fragment of God
Searching and sifting
Through the soil caking your feet

Your archaeological dig site

Resurrecting from your deep red earthiness
Sorting your finds
Cataloguing your treasures

Can you smell it?

That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger

Turning over and over each exhumed shard
I watch you squatted, frog like
Remembering  ~ Releasing ~ Restoring

Becoming one with Ivory bone and awakening to the harmony of blood's song

Navigating with courage your shadow
I watch you bearing down
Giving birth to truth and beauty

Can you taste it on the wind?

That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger
