Otherworldly, she is
Former Alien Babe
Fashioned from the very roots and vines of this earthly realm
Camouflaged behind huckleberry leaves
Dappled sunlight on skin
She glides between dimensions
Passing notes with pollinators
Kissing the feet of faeries
She may drift into community
An apparition around the fire
Either soft, hazy smoke
Or sparkling, emblazoned embers
Depending on the phase of the moon
Depending on the phase of her womb

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.
