But not here, in these endless talks. by Aditi Garg

But not here, in these endless talks.
Aditi Garg

But here,
In this vastness
Soft prairie skies
A long walk together
This direction chosen for us
Different paces, different faces
Grasslands, supple in the wind
We choose this path.
We yearn,
For this endless walk.

This poem sprouted in Canada, in response to “Talks” by Mishumo Madima in South Africa.

This contribution is from Poets for Climate, a collaborative project among the branches of The Climate Reality Project in the Philippines, Africa, and Canada in support of When Is Now. The Agam Agenda, together with mentors from each branch, facilitated virtual Pebble Poem Workshops for Climate Reality Leaders every Thursday from 4 August to 1 September 2022. This is one of the many poems that emerged from the workshops. Read more.
