THE FOREST CAULDRON

Beneath the water

in the swamp of our forest

the bones of our people

& the lives of our children.

Deep inside the forest proper -

Life is waiting to make an offer -

Death is waiting with jaws wide open -

& the lives of our children

are never forgotton.

They exist in this water -

Time has seen this drought slaughter -

Earth & it's mysteries -

Enfolded in histories -

All of the world holds

our sons & our daughters.
