Sky stories dirt stories

 opening up the channel 
for an origin story to arrive 
plucking out strains of 
shame and misogyny
trying to sneak their way in 
loving on the leaves 
whose veins show paths for 
repairing harm 
making a way 
out of the hole of being 
mistaken 
lost 
temporarily cruel
searching for the conflict 
that is a thick mud 
for roots to strain against 
to give the story heft and weight 
and an arc of something 
divinely grounded to end on
