As teeth sharpen Earth’s crystal dome
Tears leak from orange pots of clay
I crumple under sighs for shattered home
Shackled to my heritage, I roam
Underbrush and thorny roots shall play
As teeth sharpen Earth’s crystal dome
Nighttime wonders swallowed in green foam
Forgotten warriors drown in friendless fray
I crumple under sighs for shattered home
Furrowed, shadowed foreheads groan
Ankles pierced by snares roll stones away
As teeth sharpen Earth’s crystal dome
Black eyes relinquish rivers, chrome
The backs of sun-dark lost ones sway
I crumple under sighs for shattered home
Weep and scream with the forest, alone
No home in love or sight or day
As teeth sharpen Earth’s crystal dome
I crumple under sighs for shattered home
(3/25)
