The Tell
In the future, should we have it
We might gather into upper rooms
Keepers of technology
With those of bread
To tell a story of
What was lost, was kept
Not forgetting that we write
New chapters in
Our saga
Rising, falling passages like
Exploration of an ocean
Something like discovery
Reconquest when we call for it
Removing home
There is a center with
A monument to keeping
We gave away so much
Forsaking clarity
We held too closely, crushed it
Everything that was a gift
Finding we had no real talent in
Adding to creation
When there could have been alliances
Finally, nothing’s lost
If it must change again
And we with it
We’ll have what we have
In keeping up with prophecy
Fields we didn’t have to fight. for
Nature in benevolence to share
Partnership with
The ground at last,
The sea and all its colonies
We have a place, if regulated
By our betters whom we knew
And would not recognize
And the better us
In time for staying
And for leaving
