hard pressed,
discovering
and rediscovering,
connecting
and reconnecting feelings
about therapeutic needs
and sacred wants
for trauma-prevention peace
trust
joy

Through co-empathic singing passions

ecowomanist wisdom

splattered on this page

a fad of today
what will be left fallen

from your modern place of mask normality,
to discover accurately, the unexplored state,
