              communion

       stress leaving the body
          sweat and tears

      the geography of the world
         drawn with a new ink

        red sometimes and wild
   in time gentle blues and greens

      the colors of tree and sky
              new leaves 

         bloodline histories
         ancestral memories

             feel the air
        the smell of petrichor

           roots stretching
        the warm damp of earth

          mycorrhiza bridges
