EPILOGUE - FROM THE NIGHT TREES

(spoken word by Nonney Oddlokken)



When I was a child, the Spirit Sisters Collectors
watched from the night trees…
In the Moonshine.
Changing shape as they jumped from treetop to treetop.

Following me
to and from the store.
Following me
from friends’ homes.
Following me
with my mother.
Following me
and waiting patiently.
For a child born with such an old soul,
will surely soon join them.

One morning, I found a dropped human soul
Half hidden in the protruding roots of an oak tree
Shivering and covered with dew.

Fearing it will dry up and flake away in the coming scorch,
I wrapped it in screen mesh and twine.
Shaded by the white confetti’s petals,
I hung it on the highest branch
of their crepe myrtle tree.

No sense causing a ruckus over such a correctable mishap.
