Summer Ago

summer cicada

enchanted songstress 

waited unafraid

on the redwood

hand rail

above creek

under trees

a gift

cicadas bring summer

gliding on warm yellow winds

***

watching from

the shadows of time

ancestors

understand

my love

always the

land belongs

to them

morning takes

my hand

we walk

stories of this

place

float into

my soul

humbling

to be touched

for eternity 

sacred fire

brands my

heart

kindred

peace

sweet

absolution

drips like

honey

threads of time

weave together

past and present

veiled hatred

unable to

destroy a

gentle people’s

history

a proud people

Tunica Biloxi walk here to this day....
