Heron and wolf are our ancestors

river runs through our veins

 

Bones carved of granite

moss-marrow at the core

Body shaped from the earth

this is our common ground

 

Our hair is forest

Our scent is wildflower

Our breath is the wind

 

Our mother is poetry

Our father is story

 

We both know deep in the rock of our bones

water is thicker than blood

and we are sisters
