to them, I am a tree

poetry & the King of Pentacles in my Embodied Ecosystems tarot deck

here's a little poem that wrote itself while I watered the garden, accompanied by the beginnings of the King of Pentacles in my Embodied Ecosystems tarot deck, who happens to be a tree :")

---

when i am still or slow

the insects crawl onto me

and i realize they think

i am a plant or tree

which is all i’ve ever wanted to be.

what once felt purely fearful

is now also an affirmation

that the slower i go

the less i know

and the more i am whole.
