Grandmother Integrity Poems

Back in the day,
before right hand

transubstantiating our debating minds
translating our felt bodies
embodied contexts

Echo in-
voking round resonance
with all Earth's eternal 
regenerating lively
lovely resilience.

Prayers

I wonder how much,
if any, distance
we might uncover
between The Lone Warrior
surrounded by weary white YesMen,
