for i am put together with stardust...: two more things i like:

i am stronger than a sepik crocodile, more cunning than gideon's three hundred, more powerful than david's five stones, brighter than the thunderbolts of zeus. i can change lives, resolve injustice, reverse poverty, inspire hearts and minds, connect kindred souls. i can make laughter and inspire singing, persuade lovers to find each other, strangers to make friends, and enemies to make peace. i can move mountains.
---Patricia Raybon, My First White Friend---

we have a beautiful
mother
her hills
are buffaloes
her buffaloes
hills.

we have a beautiful
mother
her oceans
are wombs
her wombs
oceans.

we have a beautiful
mother
her teeth
the white stones
at the edge
of the water
the summer
grasses
her plentiful
hair.

we have a beautiful
mother
her green lap
immense
her brown embrace
eternal
her blue body
everything
we know.
