(A poem in progress)
This city's
pressing heavy - blocking out the sky
The waters from
my homeland run by here.
I’m like a bird
flown from the nest
lost on the
wind.
The waters from
my birthplace rush through the states
Picking up and
filtering chemicals.
The mountain
springs and snow runs off
Runs through me
- out through my eyes
Feathering
here.
Will the sun to
shine kinder on me tomorrow?
Will the rains
come to wash it away?
Casting off the
cloak of the sun.
I miss the smell
of sage in the morning
And the stars
like diamonds rolling
Running my
fingers through the wind
The smell of
the air
Their spirits
are on the wind
And I’m down in
this city
Surrounded by
beveled glass and hard wood floors
And all the material objects I adore
So this longing
could be anywhere
The Missouri
binds me here
