Field Work

It's #tbt! Enjoy this great one from SWWIM Every Day's archives!


Her mind a passerine
claws firm on the bough

her body a flowering
tree She knows

what’s blooming
A luminist

she sees light
fall into woods

waft over
the undergrowth

A numinist
she reflects

the weave of seen
and unseen

What’s in her fieldbox

A spectrum spirit tin
spyglass spirals

a mud-splattered
map of the air
