i dance a spotted gum
by
Nicole Rain Sellers
for Michelle
bark peels loose
cursive green waves
leap i surrender
my human-limbed
didge-blown skin
stretched ectoplasmic
i channel trunk curve
buffet a southerly
squall dip between
twigs shake marine
things unknown
fly in silver shoals
chirp dolphin fusion
flute swivel gust
let each pulse flail
me a storm-swayed
earth-streak singing
whip of sprung feet
slid in gold seaweed
undulant dolphin i
breach forest surf
crest eucalyptus
flower plunge drift
swim skyward this
spiral grove moves
