Indigenous Landscapes ~ Friday, February 18, 2022

Consider the earthworm
as I run past on streets
no longer considered

Indigenous landscapes

pitter-patter of feet
in the rain each footstep
clutches after firm ground
kick a branch and stumble

under darkness and cold
pitter-patter of feet

wonder why stars shimmer
heavenly stellar light
arcs space-time in straight lines
trajectory unknown

in my two hands, I hold
significance long past

not that I can show you
only tears I have lost

losing is integral
objets d'art obtain worth
no longer valuable
given the market price
erratic rise and fall
recently here, now gone

here is no longer here
eternally missing
recently here, now gone
edge of the universe
