“I move my hand and feel a touch
move with me, and when I brush
my own mind across another,
I am with my mother’s mother.”
- Annie Finch, from “Samhain”
The veil between this world and the Otherworld is at its thinnest at this time of year. Write a story or poem or song in which your speaker/character interacts with an ancestor (or ancestors).
I love a list poem. Today, write a list of unknowns. If you’re having trouble getting started, try beginning each line with “unknown.” Unknown: my ancestors. Unknown: the colour of tomorrow.
