I trace their echoes
2026
They sit contorted in a breathless writhing,
Whispering to each other through their sorrow and anger.
I trace their echoes rippling beneath the earth,
Branching out in minute vibrations
weaving between the roots and mycelium.
Doubled over, weeping, they continue to give me strength as I breathe in soil.
