And to dust we all return
Contemplate the weeds

Once young and alert
Outside, where you loved to be
Now inside with me

Water through my hands
Fresh running streams of my heart
I am letting go
Copyright Francis Barker 2020

Florescent green banners snaking
in the blue;
Polaris over my head,
such beacons of the kingdom
drawing like a magnet,
beckoning closer to ice smothered peaks
of estranged lands;
the incessant drum of the shaman,
ancestors screaming from my heart,
imploring me: “Remember this.”

Change is beautiful
Corvids squawk their acceptance
I do not comply
