mourning and growth

fallow 🦋
summer 26

I have been thinking a lot of fire and water
to submit to the flow
to spill out of my hands and water the soils
of ash that holds the memories i breathe in

as our climate continues to spiral i grow ever aware of the changes i see, to plant a tree today that may not reach
but we are stewards to a land that yearns to bear our fruits, to burn and come back anew by @art.by.dec

Charadrius vociferus

the plover in my backyard
i see them fly over me, gazing up
the sun sits behind them
you know they have laid eggs when the bird flies over
leading you to follow, fawning
away from their shallow nest in the rocks and soil
chirping their song in the night
