Jeffree Skewes #135 Breath

Air grows acrid grey

throats are speaking less blue

spirits sniffed and tasted

if this breeze keeps up

tears may follow

right now blanket covers

smothering any way out

thoughts follow intuition

her power's in the moment

the land since before

the way way back

decides which way

mother the source and destination

nurturing the play-creation

respect is all we can do

smoking ceremony

clearing attention to 

who mother really is

welcome to country
