Jean Linville
balm
April 5 - April 9 Week 70/72
my breathing deepens and slows
with the blooming of the lungwort
muscles knotted at the base of my neck
release as I look up to see the sun painting
dabs of pink on the edges of indigo clouds
and the heavy feeling in my heart lightens
as bloodworts with cloaks of green
rise up from deep red roots
