Every Tree
a brother
Every hill
a pyramid
a holy spot
Every valley
a poem
in xochitl
in cuicatl
flower and song
Every cloud
a prayer
Every rain
drop
a miracle
Every body
a seashore
a memory
at once lost
and found
we all together:
fireflies
in the night
dreaming up
the cosmos.
Chicano poem from the book Original Instructions, by Melissa K. Nelson
