earth note 827

new mexico route 4


the mountain crust
became the stone
of thousand-year
communities
artisan hands
multitudes of free people
before the invaders
every tree growing up
with its own sacred lineage
the web of life is no catch phrase
to be expropriated
in gold coins & crosses
if you listen closely
there's a language of survival
speaking only
through the silence
