Autumn in Arizona and Georgia
Words for wilderness
this time, these words
go and ask forgiveness from the trees
for friends, warmth, protection
life free from superfluous strife, anxiety, tension
work to serve that good life
alignment becomes strength
scoop pain from misplaced bones
test the right of nature's majesty
grizzlies, wolves, lions
rivers that overflow and flood
acceptance becomes calm
witness overwhelmingly force
the unending ocean spawning salmon
buffalo pigeons frogs
stars, the big-pawed lynx
respect becomes responsibility
acknowledge the weight of feet
a hundred years salting the valley
now a hundred years to heal
the bulk of words
work becomes myth
