Ongoing

Writer: Jess TJess T
In the ongoingness of it all
For this was the year you became Bird
A breath. An upstroke
A sudden turn on the wing                
in such meaningful surrender
Tell us, what has gone before? 
And where are we going?
Internal rhythms chant
Tracking spaces between 
to unhook from the singular
The stubborn deep. Oh, taprooted one!
Always in search of water
Now we become Rhizome
A sprawling mess of roots
Belonging everywhere at once
Together and without
quenched at last
Begwyns, Black Mountains

In the ongoingness of it all

For this was the year you became Bird

A breath. An upstroke

A sudden turn on the wing

in such meaningful surrender.


Tell us, what has gone before?

And where are we going?


Internal rhythms chant

Tracking spaces between

to unhook from the singular

The stubborn deep. Oh, taprooted one!

Always in search of water.


Now we become Rhizome

A sprawling mass of roots

Belonging everywhere at once

Together and without

quenched at last.
