Avocado

I am mother goddess warrior
protector of the sacred Nisqually water
and the people of this land
I am native crow

I am also avocado
nice to eat and soft 
soft to my seed and thick skinned
or is it thin? I don't know

all the time I 
shed my skin
feel sweet and feed something

and then regrow

I am an avocado crow
