Gently she emerges
From
Thin
Thin
Air
To drink quiet life
Birds, crickets, squirrels, deer gather
A meeting of life
Holding hands together
They drink it up!

I coast softly with the wind, towards shore. Sunlight holds me up; moonlight towing me in. A vast ocean of rights and wrongs behind me:
today I sat at a table
rectangular in shape
long and wide
with seven white people in power
next to the other person of color at the table
