Breathe

Juna, 826michigan
A poem about taking the world in—and letting go.
Breathe

Breathe in pesticides killing dreams
Breathe out seeding dandelions in the wind
Breathe in white privilege
Breathe out a warm fire roasting s’mores
Breathe in fear shadowing minds
Breathe out children playing in fields full of butterfly milkweed
Breathe in wolves with their blood leaking out into the snow
Breathe out while sitting high up in a tree, letting it all go
