For Sarah

The work we do is hard work
Some days it feels so ordinary
The potter at the wheel
Oh there she sits her hands are steady

To live beyond immediate needs
To sense all those fuzzy boundaries.

The casual desecration
Offensive to my sense of placement
How I wish you could feel it-
How really “it” is all breathing.

But with such fear you’ll push on
And forget the ground you walk upon.

There are-a things a-turning
It’s multiple and it is yearning
No leader none to follow
So diverse that it can’t be swallowed.

In a marsh stands a heron so still
And in that silence she waits to kill
And on and on and on and on…

There’s often repetition
Like how we count on morning to glisten
And in the cycles lessons
The gardener a patient witness

And if collective liberation
Is bound up with all of creation
Well then on and on and on

The water reaches wetlands
Those changing places of digestion
That kind of integration
Go to the sea for completion

The powerful are violent and short-sighted
It’s finally time for brilliant lighting.

The work we do is hard work
Some days it feels so ordinary.
