*sometimes it happens
between storms..
the soft shift
no one sees.
the grasses turn
as they always have,
leaning into the rhythm
that remembers
year after year
the true nature
of the prairie lands.
and the prairie knows..
how to bow without breaking,
how each wave of grass
mid-tempest
still points home.
the winter cold has passed.
the grasses rise..
and within their return,
my heart
finds its Home.*

Along the priarielands--
rolling hills previously
roamed
by wild buffalo.
Grouse
sage hens
prairie chickens
pheasant
hungarian partridge
and now you--
You, in that pretty, flowing
summer dress- walking that
line.. between planted field
and wild prairiegrass
and not a blade is broken.
Wind-- moving the grass and
nearly-ripened crops like
slow rolling waves
out on the sea.
Me.. watching you
move.. just watching you-- move..
along that line between
beautifully-planted
and natural..
and moving with understanding;
flowing--
ever-growing
knowing.. sweetly knowing
that there's a glowing
from what you are showing-- me;
Not a blade of grass or crop is
ever harmed by your movements
instead.. like me, they thrive--
leaning into you
whenever you are near.
. . .
I am the grass
the blade
the crop-- ready for harvest
the bison
and the upland bird
the forever wave hello
of the tall grass of the prairie.
And you are as much a
part of it all
as you are of me.
Like the native grass
and the native Lakota
that have both
always known its ways..
you were always meant to be here.

Africa:
It is a lost place
One thinks of sunny
Blue skies
And then thunderstorms
Of running through
Vast, vast, vast
Open grasslands
Of cooking on a fire,
Of looking out
Over the hills of our
Homeland, homeland, home -
Land, land, land

none of you are strong
or independent
how many do you rely on for your food?
your gas? electric, and the roof overhead?
this is a fixed system
a racetrack
where all the horses are doped
all i can say is,
stop running
