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.
