XVII.

Feed the song in the blood to the river

I  drink from

planting memory 

seeding Songline     

bedrock  knowledge

under walking feet

hands like ears –            enter and re-enter

ecological  imaginarium

enlivening  relations

between all scales of being  breath

from the mountain spring spiral

through limbs 

spaces

in the landscape   singing spaces

the beings becoming

web–like

threaded by light

in a mystical state of suspension   between stars

cradled in a down of snow

on a night born long and arctic

distance of light years  close to touch

to swim again  in the dark light

to swim again    –   among them

unwinding

skeins –

spun of cloud stuff

and the fiber of the land.
