Victoria Spires

Fløyfjellet

Green through me, in teeming 


rivulets


of forest-feeling. I speak
tree shivers, fingertip 


meaning from fern tributaries.


Un-lung me.


Let me re-learn breathing,
deep skin drinks of 
sweetness. I am


feather-fall, water-
heavy. Bed me
in star moss and teach me 


your slow creep
of chlorophyll secrets -


within me, there is a sing
of mountain memory
