for Michelle Lanier
angels stain the air
when you reach for words
made rounder by
the soil you trace
for roots
and birds sound the calling
to splash light
intentionful
to water what knows
you are home
so i'll curl a streamer
i'll smooth a mound
i'll balance a birthing gourd
meaning I will cultivate grace daily
so they'll know
i heard you
