write a poem in the voice of a member of your family.
the song of the dog and/or child
there have been moments
of such exquisite freedom
since i came to this place off the thick dirt road
to live on a slope
surrounded by bog
and birch stand and mysterious undergrowth
what i cannot say
but feel all through me
is complete instinct: race the water’s edge
i follow my heart
til She calls my name
directing my return – i am love, i am rage
