When I was a child,
the Spirit Sisters Collectors
watched from the night trees...
In the Moonshine.
Changing shape as they jumped
from treetop to treetop.
Following me
to and from the shore.
Following me
from friend’s homes.
Following me
with my mother.
Following me
and waiting patiently
For a child born with such an old soul,
will surely soon join them.
One morning, I found a dropped human soul
Half hidden in the protruding roots of an oak tree.
Shivering and covered with dew.
Fearing it would dry up and flake away
in the coming scorch,
I wrapped it in screen mesh and twine.
Shaded in the white confetti petals,
I hung it on the highest branch
of their crepe myrtle tree.
No sense causing a ruckus
over such a correctable mishap.
