she silenced her phone
trashed the social media
cast off weary fake friends
ceased to lay eyes on junk
or accept empty invitations
she was like a tree or a flower
rudely dug up and replanted
in a grotesque garden
there was one way to wholeness
one unrushed road to finding self
and it wasn’t out there
or hiding somewhere
it was a gentle determined stroll
the deep measured cleanse
feeling the slow but sure growth
down to the roots of her tingly toes
until she and the earth around her lightly sighed
