spirit family
i looked into my soul & found a wolf for the joy i'd lost.
i looked into my heart & found a white bull for the anger i'd strangled.
i looked in & found a fox for the grief i'd exiled.
i looked in & found an otter for the hope i'd silenced.
i looked in & found a vulture & found a bat
& i am still looking still flung wide & scattered still seeking the rush & release the slow blink the exhalation the soft sleep
