2000-10-23 at night there are no voices
singing me gently to sleep
though i know they whisper
outside these strange walls i look to the sky
for the sweet light of stars
but night is never dark here i long to join the dance of the earth
-i knew the movements once i dream of the wind
the damp smell of the earth
and the footsteps of animals
dancing by the moonlight my body is tired and aching blood rushes to my feet
draining into the pavement
is pulled through my scalp i lose track of the land -Kateri Damm --- There's no place for me in this world. |
