spun

open to this moment

know your home is earth

know also that when the pain struck you

you had no other choice

but to abandon the now

it simply was too painful to live there

and so you sought the higher centres

as an escape

and lost your way to solid ground

but don’t you know how much the earth

longs for us

to heal this schism

to open our eyes from sleep

to stop betraying nature

and the instinctual

there is a prison tower that the patriarchy built

when they demonized the mud

and so the towers came down

in a burst of fire

where is it that we failed to fully grieve

and understand the deeper message?

how was it we turned away from truth

seeking vengeance?

has it helped us

or has it divided us even further

making us spin out

becoming too far flung

like errant satellites

and increasingly driven

by frenzied rhythms

which propel us further and further

from nature?
