<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sunny skies swirl cloud and blue and sun<\/p>\n
not above or below but everywhere in around us all<\/p>\n
a shared breath selfsame breath selfsame air<\/p>\n
this invisible shared inhaling and blending exhales<\/p>\n
this ground of grass and pavement makes for no roads<\/p>\n
only one vast common floor<\/p>\n
floor of blood floor of starvation of unspeakable must be<\/p>\n
spoken violence hate and canceling of people<\/p>\n
floor of dancing floor of fighting stolen floor<\/p>\n
rights torn away floor must somehow somenow heal floor<\/p>\n
bridged floor above<\/p>\n
inconceivable now conceivable all swallowing fire<\/p>\n
hunger and toppling of trees and collapsing communities<\/p>\n
of ingesting entire species into gone and gone and gone<\/p>\n
bridges merging never truly apart thirst of soul<\/p>\n
of ache for home longing for all fears comforted away and through<\/p>\n
everything depends on red wagons and hands across the water<\/p>\n
and apple trees and honeybees and putting your hand in the hand<\/p>\n
of the one who calms the sea please believe in us tree and fields vegetables<\/p>\n
and fruits forgive us our sins against you but have no mercy<\/p>\n
but instead rage that sweeps us all into we must change<\/p>\n
as long as we share breath of sage of seasons rituals<\/p>\n
and last breaths and first breaths playful breaths of children<\/p>\n
and of giraffes and bats dolphins and whales the cricket the crane<\/p>\n
it swirls blue skies and sunlight swirling differences into somehow<\/p>\n
a song lament psalm choir of here now angels<\/p>\n
of purple mountains majesty of amber waves of grain<\/p>\n
of rockets red glare and ramparts and land not free<\/p>\n
but stolen may we breath the spirit of manifest restitution<\/p>\n
understanding until ever more justice be done as protests bloom<\/p>\n
and riots cleanse and conversations difficult and trembling and hopeful<\/p>\n
move us to tears and the ability to bear witness to one anothers pain<\/p>\n
of the ability of feeding each other ourselves from shared gardens<\/p>\n
free us of the illusion delusions of breath being<\/p>\n
our own we share swirling blue skies and sunlight in our bodies<\/p>\n
may we fall into each others arms and weep until the healing is done<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
