She lies between realms -
where the skin remembers softness,
and the soul wears a mask of wood and memory.
Draped in warmth and tradition,
her body rests on linen waves,
while behind her,
green earth hums with life -
horses grazing, birds soaring,
ancestors watching from stone columns and painted masks.
The sky fractures like old pottery,
but still, it holds the sun.
In her stillness, she travels:
not through space,
but through bloodlines,
dreams, and silence.
