Kerri Shying R # 399 - Vale Le Guin


Vale Le Guin

I saw you died   you put the air
behind my pen   drew ice and caves
made places  that sat right
on my tongue 

there were no copses
bonnets
buggies     games of hopscotch

Ursula    the name seemed
even then to be a part
of those constellations above us   while
we lay out on the grass   with Dad
looking up   waiting for Sputnik
while he told us things   about the earth
and we would feel it move
vast and curved
beneath our backs

spoke the words    up to the sky
felt them sink into the ground
take root
and here now
here we are
