the beauty we’ve been granted // march2019

We take up so much more

than our share of planet 

And live in a high dry place 

meant for just 

a few of us,

So very few. 

Rivers that wind like thread 

Crops that fight for rain

And still 

I want to lick this dirt, swallow this sky

Eat the red brown earth

So in love.  

This beauty we’ve been granted

The beauty. This

Wish. Wishes. Wish:

May we know what we have stolen. 

May what was given, be known.
