PEGI EYERS


Picture

the glow of late summer
falling orb between the trees,
an urban forest
is still a forest

oak and maple giants
- sentinels -
the wind in the dry leaves sounds off
like a menace is brewing

and yet,
as in ancient times
my clad feet follow uneven patches
up and down
the broken ridge

passing lichen and figures
​made from bark
through the life-saving green
my body sways,
back to sanctuary

as an animal decomposes in the duff

"Forest floor of a temperate broadleaf forest showing leaf litter."
The forest floor, also called detritus, duff and the O horizon, is one of
the most distinctive features of a forest ecosystem. 


Pegi Eyers is the author of  Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community, an award-winning book that explores strategies
for social justice, ethnocultural identity, the ancestral arts, building land-
emergent community and resilience in times of massive change.
