Rallentando (making peace with mud)

May 4, 2024 By Ellen

In order to preserve footgear of urban sophisticate, I slither free, laces still tied.

Evening greens fizz: I have to go to the grass… under branches.

My toes burrow in blood-warm ooze.

Ghosts of sunshine.

Wriggle feet down through surface soft to the stone cold earth.

I lean in bark furrows.

‘Hello dear. What took you so long?,’ the tree whispers.

My pulse as loud as insects.

Breeze in, gust out

Under soles I feel writhe of worms, moles’ spade paws negotiating roots and life juice drawing up to branches,

past beetles and spiders,

dreys and nests,

to the sky…
