Finding Support
by Eve
Noora
Puun juurella,
Maan povessa
Lepään
Voimia kerään ja
Kevään sykkeen
Tunnen suonissa.
Silmäluomissa vielä raskautta
Väsymystä
Odottaen täyttymystä
Taistelen vastaan
Kiinni pitäen,
Kuin tietäen
On aika pysähdyksen
-ja se on täysin okei.
Okei vain olla ja tarkkailla.
Havaita.
Hengitystä
Surua,
Jokaista ajatuksen murua.
Mistä oksa on katkennut,
ajan saatossa siitä kasvaa uusi verso
At the root of the tree,
In the bosom of the earth
I rest
Strength I gather and
The pulse of spring
I feel in my veins.
In my eyelids still a heaviness
Weariness
Awaiting fulfillment
I struggle against
Holding on,
As if knowing
It is time for a pause
- and it is completely okay.
Okay just to be and to observe.
To notice.
The breath
The sorrow,
Every fragment of thought.
From where a branch has broken,
in time there grows a new shoot
Kadar
In a wheelchair's dance, balance sways with grace,
Shifting weight, a gentle lean to hold the space.
Hands clasp wheels, core steadfast, defying tilt and fall,
With practice, poise triumphs, answering freedom's call.

I am supported by the warm evening sun,
by these cliffs, by this expansive air
I am supported by these soothing notes,
by my years of experience in creativity,
in artistry, in movement and in being human.
I am supported by loving, moving, vibrant communities
of like-minded people, kindreds, creators, crips and rebels
I am supported by this body of mine
which through all its troubles

A ncient curves as queer as nature
