Shifting Gravity [Poem]
back to all work
you are
HERE
solar systematic
in rotation
so attractive
GRAVITY
of heavy planets
firmly planted
pull me closer
like a magnet
I. feel. it.
MAGIC
that space between us
orbits — gravid
a pregnant pause
so holographic
light in layers
electric
static
rubbed so soft
friction
sparks — erratic
lightening cracks
wind with a voice
that MOVES —
charismatic
thunder rolls…
sky splits open
air’s rebalanced
blows through my mind
like storm-raised
breezes clear
out leaves in
FALL
fall
fall…
I’ll wait.
I’ll wait to land
back down to Earth —
winter spring summer
I’ll grow tall
rising — washing
rain-fed waterfalls
keep me CLEAN
so I can see
the “right” way
to pass one more
slow day
I’ll just keep to my roots
‘til the seasons change
get rearranged
‘til the tide shifts in
and we flood again
‘til you see me
‘til you need me
like water rising
to the thirsty
you are
here
and I need you
we need WE
like trees give
nutrients
nourishment
through mycelium
they feed each other
and I will share it all
if you share it too…
then we will
always
have
enough
down there
beneath gravity
at the very center
of the Earth —
the molten core
that keeps us alive
is RECIPROCITY

creative collaboration
“Amber is a powerful collaborator and asset to creative projects.”
Her curious nature, profound questions, and honest reflections support the development of self-awareness and invite connection to the world around us. With Amber’s counsel, I see more facets and dimensions of my work, and can better align the depth, integrity, and potency of the message I’m trying to share. She is a masterful teacher and creative guide.
I can help bring connection, understanding and empathy to your project or cause.
As a spoken word poet and performer, film writer, and conservation program/grant writer I have an immense range of communication capacity to present compelling and emotional stories with sensitive attunement to audience and culture.
