“seeking home” by Nicolette Ratz


sewing loose stitches of a sweater
begging to unravel into yarn
loosen as roving into wool fiber
seeking the wind seeking home
as hair on wholesome sheep
grazing grass in green pasture


Nicolette Ratz currently lives in rural, northern Wisconsin. She encourages daydreams to find her on slow hikes as ecology, imagination and moment converge in poetry.
