19 january


in the oaken wood


 owl nest sits in an old yellow pine

where the trunk bends entwined with moonseed vines

chilling squalls sigh through tree tops

conjuring neglected spirits 



pulling my cap down over my curls 

i put my back to the wind 

and carry my trinkets home-

  2. Owls have always been considered wise and I hope it guides the neglect spirits.
