Aboriginals




At morning i followed the tracks

of coyotes that followed my paths

through the field rich with rabbits and mice.


At evening i ran down the lane

toward a bear that ran through the woods

toward the house heaped with dreaming and books.


What floats on the air on a recurve of wings

what stands on the ground be it rooted or legged

all native all deep in the sweetness of living

and where we belong, all of us home.
