Hunkesi

A single feather
Upward toward the stars
Casting cosmic dust
In dancing rings 
Upon this land 
A holy man, a messenger,
A particle in transmission 
Flowing 
To a simple stream 
To a mighty ocean 
His breath is the fog
Dense and vast
It fills each lung
Forming flesh 
Bone
Muscle
Pushing against 
The death in the water
