Weereewaa

By | 13 May 2024

respectfully yuma weereewaa
filled from the rain
lost under the sun

restricted flow
shallow
but with a deep history

evidence suspended in the silt
pollen and ash
worked stone

eagles circle, watching
lake’s large mouth, calls
it’s tongue licks at the foreshore

Birik sits, looking up from below
careful, he waits
for those who take what is not for the taking

sorrow trees recline in the water-soaked reeds
weathered arms outstretched beckoning to come sit
to heal a scarred soul or

damaged heart

I sit cradled by the woody arms
they whisper the message of peace, forgiveness, and love
