Forest Bathing from There There by Walter Etc.

There’s an overgrown headstone
and a very old phrase
we’re reciting it gently
to summon your face
how long have you been standing there for?
how long have I been awake?
we came out here cause we needed help
we need someone to lead or teach us how to be saved
so
hey, what’s the call?
we’ve been waiting for you to speak up
you know better than us all
what’s the call?
what’s the call?

She’s a very peculiar friend of mine
she’s been missing for days
she was out forest bathing and having a
satori a day
she said
it’s all just a Rorschack inkblot you know
a ripple in a still lake
it’s a deep ecology yelling “I can’t breathe”
there’s too many knees on its throat to obey
saying
“hey, what’s the call?
we’ve been waiting for you to speak up
you know better than us all
what’s the call?
what’s the call?
