I have begun the journey of writing a collection of short stories!
They are a reflection of the deep melancholy and ache my heart conjures up in words.
A worldview of the cyclical nature of life as an indigenous, queer woman.

Cranes move in quiet migration
Returning in reverence
To the mother adorned
Golden sun-soaked skin
Light kisses the child
In devotion
Of hearts entwined
To wings outstretched
A song sung overhead
Breeze carries the hymn -
Home for eternal rest

Hair drapes my forehead,
An embrace from gravity.
Sun beams trickle through in fractures,
To dance upon my face in harmony.
Clover and chicory littered sky,
The paddocks breathe a whispered sigh.
How lucky I am to rest on clouds,
A safe haven from goodbyes.

I placed my heart on the branch of a cherry tree,
Let the red drip down into my bones.
A blackbird pecked a pit,
Scattered the seeds upon my skin.
A molded cherry heart,
Blossomed in my chest.

Star gazers,
Starry-eyed,
Send star thoughts into the sky.
Mercury orbits dreams and draws them in,
To scatter wishes upon shooting stars.
Echoed by darkness and shrouded in light,
Burning through the atmosphere -
"Fragile: return to sender"

"Don't go chasing waterfalls."
Yet I ran to the open mouth,
Let the water fall onto my face.
Chased away the mist,
And let the river find me.
