Green shores. Green round bends horizoned

Up...up...far time pillars.

Salt. Fresh...

I am

Home.

Red tides wash, wish, creep silent. Creep

Crashing. Angry red eyes gaze at

Snap! shut claws on...nothing. Air. Salt.

Fresh...

I am

Home.

Storms impotent...I leave Ancestor paths...

Follow Ancestor ways.

Stroke River Mares' manes...they cannot

Forsake rivers.

I call green shores to them. For...

I am

Home.

How many smiling lips' lies...promises'

Twisted, frenzied dust mockeries

Battered through...tested, tested. Tested.

In the morning, I rose up Shining...prints

Gone...invisible whirlings millions of years

Defeated.

Petals in the air. Petals dewed delicate...as I,

Reaching,

Touch one

Flower...

Beyond years...

Fresh. Sweet.

And, in reaching down,

Tears combine dew

Into rain

Of a beating

Heart.

I am

Home.
