ODE TO KAPHA

Slowness grants permission of viscous intent

To collect the imprint of matter without becoming hardened as such

A sustainable pace that allows for a grace of movement

Freedom without flight

Dedication without stagnation

The luxurious lushness of mossy velvet

Of soft curving hips, terrain dips,

And tender lips offering words like molasses

A liberation built upon sturdiness

Thickened trunks and winding roots

Adaptable, yet uncompromising in integrity
