Meditation On Sitka
alas, used to not be alaska
but russia, yet the people remained
borders moving across them like
the northern lights something you
don't feel the roar of the ocean
is nothing once at shore the numb
of the far north never reaches the
bones of the sea lions the tlingit
language has yet not been extinguished
let us talk for a while yet in the
sunset burning like embers and
remember that a great blaze can
be born from the smallest coal.
