3/7/2016 0 Comments Root System by Ren MartinezRoot System By Ren Martinez sometimes I think about putting down roots threading through ground too cold from a late winter snap I think about staying still while straining upwards and outwards groaning from the weight of gravity shrinking me back in on myself until I’m gnarled and twisted into a willow weeping hands curled into my chest with concentric circles marking time lost I think about feet that never wander and eyes that ignore the horizon for the aching gaping space where anything was once possible sometimes I think about putting down roots but the taste of the wind is still sweeter than earth About the author: Ren Martinez is a procrastinating writer, fairy punk, and distracted geek. Her aesthetic is "would be suspected of witchcraft by local villagers." She has been published in Potluck Magazine, Margins Magazine, The Mary Sue, and The Quotable, and is also a regular contributor for Quail Bell Magazine. She currently resides in Richmond with a cat who thinks she's a princess. If you love snark and pictures of cats, you can find her at @renthemusical and itsrenmartinez on Instagram.
