FERAL HEART acrylic on canvas by Candace Knapp
22 inches by 18 inches
FERAL HEART
the tiny feet of the insects
leave delicate footprints upon the earth
and they know what I know
we are walking on the body of our mother
when the owl looks up at the night sky
and knows the stars are looking back at her
I know it too
When the wind speaks through the leaves
and rattles the bamboo
I hear what all creatures hear
We know a storm is coming
but even the storm is one of us
we have one big feral heart
brave and united
