EARTH BODY SKY MIND

BY TRACY BROYLES; ILLUSTRATION BY SARAH GROTH

It happened laying on my back

Under an aggression of stars

A realization

That I can be inspired and awestruck by the sky

Because I lay on the earth

And my earthy body gives me everything I need

To localize to a point

That can perceive

In the way that earth matter holds me

I can be wrecked divine

By what the stars can show me

A drawing of a naked woman reclining on a branch.
