Fertile Ground

Thank you for the medicine

I can feel it working

I can feel that you care

In me,

As I’ve planted seeds

In dirt I’ve wished over

Color is sprouting here

At home,

And I’ve been growing

With all this touch,

Food,

Love,

Rest.

Glowing,

I’ve called upon my posture at police storms,

I’ve savoured the medic as I wept poison,

I read Angela Davis louder than any listless words.

What I pay attention to grows,

Twists,

Dances,

Contorts,

Until it becomes the whole.
