Safe in the rain shadow, bonds secured
Words launched into the high canopy
Rest adrift
Disperse
In the worn cafe, animated currents
Born of shared memories
Seek a shore
Still in the deep past, tangled here,
In nettle, elderberry, ocean spray
Whisperings with softened edges
Swinomish
Suquamish
Snohomish
We are here
In the mist, stories rising
in words,
in bondage,
in crossings.
