11. Land & Soul



Figs, food for my soul on the Camino

Land & Soul


A quilt

This patchwork land

This patchwork soul

Row after row

Of corn husks and fig trees

Step after step

Of yearning and longing


A quilt

Pieces of Spain

Pieces of me

Sometimes flat

Sometimes empty

Sometimes steep and painful

Sometimes deep and lost


A quilt

Above which

A single kestrel loops

String in her beak

A seamstress

Stitching us together

Land and Soul


~ Cheryl Murfin, on the Camino de Santiago
