They think these are only stories
not what holds the world together
in its balance.
This land is the house we have always lived in
It really is true that the history of your people and your land is in the human body.
Some men sleep
with loose hands that by day are fists
holding fear
Let's lie down on the bank of the river
and listen to water's pulse.
When your spirit no longer shines,
you crave gems.
When a writer writes, if she is doing it well it is from magic, another place and world.
The bones of this body say, dance.
Dance the story of life
At night, alone,
the world is a river in me.
Poetry is a form of magic for me.
Day is breaking
through doors.
Earth has made another revolution.
In this valley of trees and river and crystal,
the fault lines of history broke.
The physical space we all share may be the same, but the philosophical space isn't.
Beyond walls are lakes and plains,
canyons and the universe
What a joy to share what I loved most with those I loved most.
fire flashes from the gun
like a flower that blooms
madness
and is gone.
