Stirring- A Collaborative Poem from Kindra Austin, Aurora Phoenix & Christine Ray

Your swift flowing water

Elusive, quicksilver

Brushes past my shores

Licking

my roughing grains

burgeoning

a flash flood

Tributaries

cut into earth

New veins carry fresh lifeblood

Awakening me

from long slumber

longing rippling outward

concentric circles

lapping

by turns urgent

and languid

your ebb

begets my flow

See the colors of infant life

sprouting

hungry

brilliant resilience

inherited DNA

    1. It always feels so natural and organic when we write together– we tap into something really deep with each other. Jasper often talks about the secret language that binds the writers at SD– I feel like the three of us bring it out naturally from each other.
