This morning: trench time

Two friends
run to embrace.
message carried,

cousins contacted
council sought
cedar greeted
street provided

so
circle needs guarding?

well...
got ma teachings
laying tobacco
cause our warriors walk

Grandmothers gather.
Grandfathers gather.
winds foretold

we cannot
hold your space in the circle

paths diverge

healing is hard

but you are survive

I did.
They did.
You can.

peace in balance.

your day
to plan the battle
may come
under older suns.
