Herbaceous Origins (Red Campion), 2022

Collage on cardboard with digital text overlay 

11 x 8 in 

Red Campion               

I’m not

sitting cross-legged 

in the center

of the woven rug

in my socks

anymore 

I’m now 

sprawled out limb-to-limb 

in the center 

of the wildflower field 

bare feet 

poking out above a tapestry of pink 

Asking the angels if they can see me clearly
