Weights and Measures

There is no scale that can weigh the power of hope 

Winter ICE riding an Alberta Clipper from the new northern state down to the Gulf of America 

A Brown wave
No time for Brown waves good bye 
A brown wave 

Sky ships set sail
Rouge cargo
Stripped, strapped, secure 

Refugee - no refuge - Refugee

Loose dirt plowed
Roots shifted, strained 
Lumps gathered 

Tear watered seeds sewn 
In Brown soil that hope 
might sprout like a tree

Sky ship sets sail 
Bounded cargo 
Refugee - no refuge - Refugee
