always watched fountains

see our mother move

waviest of waves

I loved each and every curve

her body draws what I see

my mind my body my soul my needs

taking up all space

her space

art within the seconds

over n over repetition repetition

I love when I get here

when it sets when it hits

who knew I could love this hard

those curves form stories in all hearts

swirls whirls my love sits in every

you know

bound to the earth

he who lives as though she’s bound to us

meskay

I am sorry

you will turn to dust

my people live to see the hundreds

these blinders locked to eyes

you see freedom

we see lies

never see what we see

our secrets

place

I feel her oldness

I know

our mother needs our taste

our mother needs no more mistakes

water you are always welcomed and belonged

vulnerable

open

carved paths for us to come

join the songs

your dirty hands carry honour

your simple sides carry trust

your mind carries wisdom only we can touch

we don’t need more adjusts

join our family

travel the skies

here you’ll see what we need to find

baby girl we don’t need to die

close your eyes

see the signs

our people our stories our voices

you don’t need to hide

your babies lie

in love

In spirits warmth

with culture, we don’t grow old

nothing else nothing more

that’s how I was born
