A PATH TO AN ANCIENT VILLAGE SITE

Buckeye Tree at Native American Village Site

FINDING HOUSE PITS
For Sylvia

In a place that dreams, 
buckeye branches rise  
from a low throne, 
spirits whispering

that we have stepped
into a house pit between 
pounding stones. We sense 
the soul of the buckeye, the tribe  

pulled into quiet currents 
as we wake to a vast ocean
of breath, the fleshy sprouts 
of seeds plunging into black earth.
