Blind to their huge, water-carved charts,
our blood dull to the tug of poles,
we are tuned still to the rising & dying of light
and we still share their need
to nest & to journey.

a blackbird fills the ivy
with notes of light
tilling the land
the earth turns slowly
under our feet

We can also look back to what we did to Native Americans.
& not just Americans. Look at WWII & wars where Americans weren’t even involved.

In a bookstore on the East Side

of an old woman in South Vietnam
by a U.S. Army truck
…
in bookstores, in the parks
however we may scream we are
suffering quietly
