Last night I dreamt I was mushrooms
many, an impossible body
impusle led
mycelium my spine
I spoke a mouthless language
all questions were answers already known
although
there really was nothing to know
I was everything at once
sugars of us hummed
soft breath
shared lung
fusing
time to matter
fusing
limbs to the land
nine veiled brides kept an eye
on my way to Beneath
the underground scene of the lacemakers lair
sleep and wake are not separate here
in the warm, wet digs of the soft hooded sisters
dark web
city lights
expand beyond us
fingers, one finger
brain, body fuel, we move into forever
- Emma Fayelecaun (2019)
