the tight bright hunker of an alpine garden
This poem honors the tiny alpine flowers that thrive in bitterly harsh landscapes, as well as the complexity of a mother-daughter relationship in the face of aging and the adversities that come with it.
Recounting a harrowing mountain trek with my own mother, the tight bright hunker of an alpine garden speaks to the intimate connection between our bodies, the separateness (and not) of our identities as women, and a gratitude for our endurance and survival.
Please note: Garnet color shown is sold out. Pockets and inner cuffs will be in a slightly lighter color, Ash Rose. Also available with pockets and cuffs in Pine Needle green. See swatches below.
