  • rivers wide

    masks we ride rivers wide
    banks staring blank, empty
    ancestors begging forgiveness --
    what have we done?

    slipping night waters
    at the edge of blood tides
    moon mother moon
    what have we done?

    careless, that whispered jetty
    rock dark, broken shore
    still that heart's beating
    what have we done?

  • we ever we

    we ever we
    on edge turning
    forest child lost
    her hands her
    finger slips
    over leaves
    over wood

    we ever we
    can be can be
    innocent songs
    again—

    she cuts she
    shadows on wind
    shadows on song
    of
    we ever we
