Heritage
Heritage
The power out, again,
trees down,
I’m reminded of
my blessings: wood stove,
the smell of
cedar, splitting
a round, memories
of older times, not “simpler,”
just different
tasks: fire pit,
mammoth bone huts, sewing–
how did we ever live
so far north?
All the big work done:
fire, language, dancing,
tools, stories–
how to behave:
being truthful, sharing, respect–
all long long before
kings, philosophers, ethics.
