Garden Note

From the dark.

rough dark sand of shallow river

Who now? From these soils, what buried visions. Who knew. Move now. As a memory reaching for the threshold of remembrance. The veins of earth strain. Who is the salve and the wound. Of daughters who learn to flee men. Who buried seven days in earth up to their necks learned to wait. O mother of men. Return.
