Through our family tree.

But the cycle ENDS with me.

Heavy clumps of white fall
from the grey sky
landing on wooden limbs,

one seed, so wise
to hide generations of pumpkins

spread out - small garden -
blind tendrils grasp non-leaves

For four generations at least,
they’d carried ‘round that ball of yeast.
Tucked there ‘twixt the thighs,
it made their bread rise;
their pans never had to be greased!

Pen me when I’m down
Open my heart when I’m heart-broken
Eulogize my creativity when I spit words of wisdom
Mention me to generations yet to be born because I’m a legacy

And the uniqueness of their dress

So thrilled with rock and roll

powering of green

amidst persisting gloom

Hiding far away in the basement
Up high in the shelf's net
You have seen generations after generations

A precious bowl to thee
For a lifetime to seal
For our mouths only to speak

Every Breath of Air

Every drop of water,
Every breath of air,
Every blade of grass—
Whispers the same truth:
We are but custodians of this planet,
Entrusted with its care
For generations yet to come.
