I utter from more than words,

more than the turns along this

twisted hollow path of speech.

 

I speak from this body, this place,

this moving earth, from the echoes

of history, and the music of soul.

 

I say truth not from strictures and

contrived obedience but as being

itself, on this blue dot in the universe.

 

I talk in silence among the white noise,

from the soil that’s tilled and the animals

that survive with us on this sacred space.
