Magic is a foot, on 40 fingers
In this air
Combed conjuring
Howl winging on the wind
I am upheld and
Grow out of This Land
And stumble
Now steady now stumble
We grow up
On and of and off This Land
Movement is how I look
Everyone in the eye as I
Near them
Storied in that
Moment fleeting face
Understanding
Sweet sister sorrow
Is in great grandmother gratitude’s
Cupped hands
Ferns in my fingernails, in my toes
Entangled in my hair
Slivered under
Two thin layers of skin
Inflamed souvenir
Visited envisioning
Amazon resurrected as
Love and lead and legend
