Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.(Thich Nhat Hanh)

written for a poetry workshop:

Rejoice in the morning

of your survival

Above your head

a crow shakes last night’s rain from leaves

Haploid to diploid

fertility dance

In the dewy dawn

moss comes green

The weight of your burden

is carried by other life forms

Your living

their dying away
