Burnt.
relapse of a life-cycle.
we burn with the flames.
slow to heal like a sprouting forest.
we are saplings breaching blackened soil,
when the time has come to do so.
we are seeds of our resilient circumstance.
Burnt engages mental health dialogue through images of wildfire destruction and regrowth. the images stand as a testament to the inherent beauty found in a forest’s resilience and within our own cognitive strength.
