Creation Myth


There is a creation myth
that tells of one of two brothers placing
sacred
sound in the earth
placing vibration in the earth so
that when people lose the sacred they
listen

My ear is pressed to soil
I am dug in, planted,
rooting
listening
to worms bury and water saturate
and animals furrow and roots crawl further
and down and in and through and

There is a creation myth
that sound is sacred

I hear it
when I hear
nothing

The nothing of soil
of breeze
the nothing of plant
of leaf
of myself in land
planted, dug in,
listening
rooting
to nothing
to the sacred
