Abstract

Next Conjure Root Work Journal - Convening in the Ark - Volume 1, Issue 1 A Spell to Break Your Chains Chelsea McQueen chelsea.mcqueen@live.com ​ DOI: https://doi.org/10.47106/11039489 ​ ​ ______ ​ After Alexis Pauline Gumbs I. Dig through the cool soil, Tear your nails on rock and wood, Make a place for yourself beneath the roots. Rest. Keep what you find there. II. Throw off the shrouds Others have placed on your shoulders. Feel the breeze on your skin Let the gusts move you. III. Make peace with the sea and sky, As dark, wild, and unknown as you. Plunge into their depths, And release the need to be found. IV. Speak freely, drink deeply. Unravel the cutting binds And float, untethered. Reclaim who you were Before others told you Who you were not. ​
