impatience


has always led me
to throw the words down in a hurry
no expectations

refugees gathering up their families
heading toward the boats and rafts
against all odds     with only courage

poets sheltering infants at standing rock
in a lineage of endless canyons and prairies
a vision that can't wait

words eked out
from a mother's breast
and a river

to cleanse us all
