The small plot of ground...
The
small plot of ground
on which you were born
cannot be expected
to
stay forever
the same.
Earth changes,
and home becomes different
places.
You
took flesh
from clay
but the clay
did not come
from just one place.
To
feel alive,
important, and safe,
know your own waters
and hills, but know
more
You
have stars in your bones
and oceans
in blood.
You have opposing
terrain in each eye
you belong to the land
and sky of your first cry,
you belong to infinity.
