I feel a lilt
in my heart
    song responding
as the intrepid path
winds out to touch my foot -
a filament of not-yet-known
and the reverberant echo
    as I allow my body
to be carried by that
reaching


It is a strange, interlocking sadness.
like galaxies meeting
a feeling of unfathomable space between
but the oceanic ripple
makes land at the shores in me


I remember… you.
Territories of my breaking and
remaking
terraforming my sediment


There are places you lived,
   places you still reside.
a cave system curving to circumscribe my core -


a soft dusty plain covered
  with moss-made loss retaining
    moisture
        slowly
          regenerating


my voice oscillates
    like the trajectories of healing
        and time
    like the path of celestial
        bodies


subtle warmth
and the tug of desire
descend into green.
    The most fertile and biodiverse lands -
hold me.
I must revisit this grief,
and remediate
the deep
    that has long been
    waiting for me.

My practice occurs predominantly on the stolen lands of Wurundjeri and Bunurong people, part of the great Kulin Nations. I offer my gratitude, thanks and love to the Elders and Ancestors of this place. I pay my deepest respects to the traditional custodians of these lands, waters and skies, and all kin, without which I would not be able to live and practice. Always was, always will be.
