(Sally Elford, 'Winter Field'; https://twitter.com/sallyelford)
Just listen to me now:
Let your field lay fallow;
Let your seed germinate;
Let your mind ruminate;
Let your sauce reduce (down.)
Do nothing
Say nothing
Be nothing
Write
Nothing (but this.)
Cross out all your lists;
Sit out this game (this season;)
Live out the darkest days;
Sound out every last silence.
You, desert mother,
are dormant; Dreaming.
Let the dreams
do what they will
In and to you.
Later,
not now,
you should tell us all about it.
