With a flutter of joy
comes a deep red on her cheeks,
neck and collarbones follow suit.
Our creek and the sky
and the earth
and the birds
give us all the
answers so let us find
other uses for our tongues.
Together in this
quiet and safe
garden we have created,
we will share our secrets
with the flowers
and listen to the stories
of earthworms.
We will give
the soil
small tastes of ourselves
under Luna's smile.
Let us drink deep
from this water
cold and clear
and become one
under the mighty
Cottonwood trees.
