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
