sifting seaweed
and pickling mushrooms
by day,
conjuring babies’ bones
his hips, thighs and lips
and God’s plan
by night

To remember ancestral terrain
Before the Qhamsudu' harvest
beyond the redwood trees,
holding a tin bucket in hand

the smell of ripe elderberries
with singing emerging from
the river, I pledge allegiance
to ancestral memory
I pledge allegiance to the ama

and to our animal siblings
in the universe
under the Creator
with memories embedded in all.
