Today
finches fell from the sky
Tumbling
into trees like marbles
Bouncing
from limb to limb
Always
descending.
Waves of
siskins washing up on oaks
Wings
flashing in astonishing numbers
Wheezy
chirping assaulting the senses.
A feathery
flood!
Today I
played alchemist
Brewing
potions of oils to heal and to soothe:
Helichrysum,
cedar and myrrh
Patchouli
and rose.
Today I felt
blah.
Bloated and
raw.
Today I
asked myself to be gentle:
On my heart
(I could hear myself nagging),
On my mind
(I just wasn’t “here”),
On my body (I’m going to bed early!).
