Ancient Endless

The wet dark hair on my head tingles and warms,

while on my face the shadow shifts from light to dark 

and back again scenting deep woods lake water strawberry ferns

and linden my path winds through glacial stones,

newts clamber under and berry brambles 

Can you hear that?

Hemlock trees. 

Endless ancient circles ripple out

from quiet spring melt drip drops

off the roots into the water
