whispers
through the branches...
my mother's voice

catkins blowing in the breeze
an orb spider weaves her web

grandma's blanket...
I wrap myself
in silence 

in the ancient ways
you teach me to walk
lightly...

stairs spiraling into darknessā€¦
the roots of my family tree

buried bones
deep inside the earth
a faint vibration
