after rain
the ground exhaled
a rainbow

Scorched earth
a world
mistreated
abused
factories spewing toxic waste
and yet the ground exhaled
tired and sickened by human folly

#blueskyrelay #thegroundexhaled

the sigh,
a breath dragged from the depths of stone.
Dust lifted in slow spirals,
heat crawled through fissures of light.
Roots stirred, restless with hunger,
and from the wound came breath,
metallic, molten,
older than mercy

The ground exhaled. Then came the frost. In the domestic vacuum, solidified trauma began to melt. Fertile grounds for verdancy.

she went to the trees
the quiet
a sacred space
she had claimed
to find her footing
catch her breath
then breathed
and the ground exhaled
releasing her from the pain

on the #domestic #scene there was chaos. The #habits of a lifetime were hard to break. What had been safe, no longer even existed. After #thegroundexhaled, everything changed. We were lucky to be alive, but no longer together. When the going got, hard we broke.

My back to the ground
The earth takes a breath for me
I exhale in kind

They #harrassed her ass, until
she got so upset that
#thegroundexhaled
and all living things expired;
a #scene of great devastation.

Time for a reset she said:
develop #habit of respect
for all #creation or face
a new round of destruction

The ground exhaled
a low, growl from its belly,
something buried too long
somehow remembered itself.
As if all it’s thinking were for naught,
as if it could reach an answer
without disturbing the magma
of what lies beneath.

a group of people are standing in a field near a waterfall Alt: a geysir

#thegroundexhaled
& a fountain of water
shot to the sky -
a natural phenomenon
I hope to see for real
next year, when we
finally visit Iceland

Dust rose like proof
that patience wins.

Air moves through soil,
like a secret unspoken.

The ground exhaled,
and balance shifted.

Last dance The tip of the spade Cuts grass and sings Finding rocks and root The first cut a dirt smile The second expands the Mouth and complains The digging steady The ground slides from Shovel to pile The tempo only broken By the occasional Groan and grunt from The spade's pilot The ground exhales Moist earth becomes Exposed to the night air Sweat drizzles in the new chasm Displaced worms seek new shelter Unaware of their impending meal

Some days it is all shallow graves and regrets. Some days that is just honest work. Today ...

I like you a lot
Been sent here to help you by my employer
She does a lot of work in the Underground
Working Station to Station
A mycelium network
I like you a lot
You lot are tasty
Wrapped my protein movers
Recharged my breath
Comply
Aerosolised
The ground exhaled

The universe
took a breath
& the ground
exhaled

in that outake
of breath,
the earth shifted
moving you
closer to me

I held your hand
briefly
before the
moon sighed,
the tides shifted
& sent you away

but I cherish
the day
that I held
your hand.

Forty days of drought,
Doused in delicious deluge,
And the ground exhaled.

As poison
ran through its veins
#thegroundexhaled
and gave up its last
patch of green
