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
