FROM The Spirit of Place
–Adrienne RichAre we all in training for something we don’t name?
to exact reparation for things
done long ago to us and to those who did notsurvive what was done to them whom we ought to honor
with grief with fury with action
On a pure night on a night when pollutionseems absurdity when the undamaged planet seems to turn
like a bowl of crystal in black ether
they are the piece of us that lies out there
knowing knowing knowing
