Ancestral voices unheard. Pervasive shouts of ‘make a silly face’ selfy talk.
Sit on the grass itself. Notice rabbit poo – no rabbits in sight.
Five breaths. Inhale and release.
Offer – nutty bar and paint water.
Unspeaking ravens watch.
Tune in your eyes, a light pass then shadows. Dry faced lichen stones.
The formalities done with. Mix the paint again.
Hands strike across the page. In that place we dance.
