Oiling the Immigrants Bowl
I stuck my hands in my mother’s apronpulled up pictures of her holding long dead babies in her arms
I stuck my hands in her apronfelt the sting of asafetida on my tongue, a cure for cursing, a cure for flu, a cure for stormy relations
I stuck my hands in my mother’s apron,smelled her cedar chest opening, found moth balls like globes of sugar
sprinkled across my uncle’s navy uniform. I pulled up pictures of the dead, resurrected color into faces,
jumped off jumping off places,stuck my hands in past the wrists, up to the elbows, shoulders,this is her collar bone ringing my neck
I pulled her apron over my head,tied it in a bow across my belly, her pockets next to my pelvis
I stuck my hands in, pulled out river smells in her hair, cypress sap on her fingers. I dusted my hands with flour,
measured in salt, rolled out the dough, flattened out days, lifted up her first dates in Baton Rouge, farm boys on the porch, live crawfish in a bowl on her table
I stuck my hands in her apron, pulled out the Queen of Wands, determined, strong, oiled the immigrants bowl,covered the bread.
My Daughter Is Sleeping
My daughter is sleeping beneath a blanketwoven with green, the color of female sage in winter,cut loose from the land in the time of snow,forgetful of its purpose.In the sky a winter moon is leaking her eggsinto the universe, into the mind of the Southwest,that lonely nature, her body radiant with sun. My daughter is sleeping in the casitabeneath blankets the color of sage in winter.She is dreaming a long road, a curving roundnessthat stretches out into an alphabet part earth, part water.There is a woman on that road with her face. There are many grandmothers.She is dreaming the shape of birds into her body.This is her life, entering her, filled with the color green,and birds fashioned after wind.
Hummingbird Medicine
Hummingbird medicine is fragileolder than all our lifetimesbraided together,sending out messages from the animal mindof the universe.Somewhere there is a placewhere all that medicineis gathering,waiting to be found.Some mornings I can almost rememberthat other life,can feel it moving insidemy arms and legs,so sweetlike a hummingbird song,fragile medicinepulling me backto the beginning place.
