“I remember lying in the grass,
I remember staring at the sky,
Seven years old, things I knew
I never put to words.
My Mother’s, Mother’s, Mothers lost their minds,
Torn from culture, torn from time,
Earth stretch back and heal their line,
Let this be their time.
Earth, I love you, Earth, I feel you
Below me, warm and breathing.
Earth, I need you, do you need me
In my bare feet? Warm and breathing?
I remember lying in the grass,
I remember climbing deep in caves,
Feeling your heart in the rock’s pulse.
I remember.”
