I am the river
In the rocky canyon
Brave shrubs and red dirt
Gold-eyed Raven, I am
A serpent, I am
A goat.
I am the bison
That roams
The space between
Vast open sky
And vast open earth
A sacred land
A Sovereign realm
Only the wild enough
Live here with me
With the day sun
The night moon
With stillness
Fertilized by silence
To slow gestation
And precious bloom.
