traveling light


traveling light.

                     kneeling,
water in the shallow cup
of my palms, mixed
with the sunlight, pine trees.         
 the breath of the forest
melts on my lips, 
I drink from the spring.
…you wouldn’t risk drinking with me.

you didn’t give me my name
when I was lost, blind, unborn,
 when I was the rain, the night,
the cry of an owl in the darkness.
you didn’t hold my hand,
when I was born,
when I walked  over the fire,
when I died
