air and leaves lay on the ground to be
removed or next year's grass will not
survive the winter... we cut a trail in
the woods to let the animals to move
from one field to another before they
are slaughtered for food... birds migrate
south to avoid the sounds of gun shots
and the whiskey we drank was just
distilled yesterday by our cousins...
we trim our hair with sharp rocks
while letting our facial hair grow as
long as it needs to grow so it can be
braided... our wives remove their
teeth before going to bed and the dogs
sleep by the fire in the living quarters...
we are on their radar and must be extra
careful as we move around from one
region to another like nomads who
have nothing but their hands with
which to barter... mindful is the day
from which we awake and do the
work of the creator until not needed.
