By Elson Bankoff, Sidwell Friends School
We run with our intuition and with our passion
In heards, we triumph across Great Plains
Into hearts, enriching minds,
Generational continuity for the sake
Of generational continuity.
Bison.
The sky is abstract, it is visual
But the air adds distinct layers. Ones of
Thick textures. Not rich, like a sweet breeze
Over fertile land;
But poisoned and suffocating.
Atmosphere.
The sky is connected to the ground
Small stalks of grass that are nibbled
And rebirthed.
The ground bound to stabilizing mantle,
And resting upon that, is the breath of creation.
The joy of being. The wholeness of symbiotic narratives and journeys.
