Broom of Wind

Sweeping with an old broom
whose straw keeps chunking off
for me to sweep up
When my life is worn to a nub
I too will be swept up
eventually
by the same thing I once came from
I too am a chunk broken off
from the broom of wind
but for now I pass across the land
like everyone, a piece of wind,
a little confluence
only the occurrence of a person

I Walk

|
Walking away
shedding slow the generations
the towns dissolve
in my drumming footfall
but I still carry it all
the livelihoods, the expectations,
the cities of never stopping thoughts
so I just still walk
dragging through stone
piled alive with associations
since all time trailing behind me
back into the mist
I walk until it's all fallen away
Coming into a clearing
there's a pause between the breaths
I look up:
Mist kissed face
vast grass shuffling
treeless place
expanse encircling
the sky on my lips
fog pulled in slow
until I too dissipate
find me blinking at dawn

So what? I saw another raven.
I actually see them all the time
and I hear their voices talking
about what the rest of us don't know
I'm a fool on the ground below them
on my phone beneath the sky
but I know there's no one walking, really,
through these dreams that I have
In the daylight I do all this work that needs to get done
and I leave the mind of night
I can't remember having crossed a threshold
between the dust and the alive
so when a raven starts a conversation
I just stand there and blank out
but I'm wrong!
There is another world inside this one
It shines:
these birds trying for my attention
and my wordless reply

The place I live has a name
but there's another one, older
Emerging through the mist
I saw where I was as it was
before we called it anything
Now we live in the wreckage of a colonizing force
whose racist poison still flows
So scared of a moment of discomfort now
we turn away from the obvious:
All we have is stolen and can't be owned
This America, the old idea, I want it to die
Non-metaphorical decolonization
beneath the one sky
Let this old world shatter
and transform
Allegiance to nothing at all
but the burning present moment
I cut the cord connecting then and now
and start again
I show the kid how to give up everything
