Under the Willow

praying for another life to begin

By Krystyna KwiatkowskaPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

Under the Willow,

where her hair blowing in the eastward wind

trails of leaves guiding me toward

the Sun high up in the sky.

Under the Willow,

where I hear the roosters crow

in the west where their coop sits

daring each other in an ego contest.

Under the Willow,

where I’m seated against her bark for rest

dreaming of fae dancing ‘round the limbs

praying for another life to begin.
