It’s been quite some time since I last shared a poem. This one emerged as the sun crept higher in the sky at the dawn of spring, calling out new growth and…nature’s tattoos.
Tattoos
Thousands of universes
are tattooed
on my skin -
worlds,
galaxies,
each one
a vortex
to unknown places
light years
from here.
My tattoos
deepen
in the sun
forming new
constellations,
a personal map
that lights my path
like stars in the dark
clustering
to form
shapes...
I see
the eye
of a tiger
watching,
an arrow pointing
THIS WAY.
My shapeshifting
tattoos
are a thousand universes
forming
un-forming -
a living
breathing
oracle.

In joy,

I’m making some changes to the Tiny Prompts rhythm with a new offering based on them; look out for an email this Wednesday 28th in which I’ll share more.
Beautiful indeed!
