She was sensitive to
the variations in air pressure
that announced the advancing storm
Her fingers tingled
when the salmon began
their run back upstream
The tree buds bursting out
green and green more generous
caused small tremblors
right next to her heart
or
Sometimes she would dance
through all the moon's cycles
feeling her blood ebb and flow
in tandem with the tide
Earth-fall and moon-rise
march in measured cadence
while her even breathing
echoes the song
