Gossip

Amy Bancroft

Do you think the jelly ears care about your very important day? Your gossip? Your worries? Do they have theirs? Or are they listening to the script of life written by the river – imagine! The quill made of hard stones, and the ink conceived of algae and the tongues of thirsty lives. Maybe the whispers of the salmon who fling themselves high above the surface – taking in a gulp of fresh air and amazement, reach them. The trees excitedly wait to hear about the business of woodpeckers, whose beak carves out the heart of their lives, and fly, daily.
