Backs to the sun,
We know our mother’s teaching,
her gentlest urging
her kindest word
her most honest truth
her pushing hips
receiving seed

in the fertile grasses
where Jesus walked
12 brothers bound
to the wisdom of their days;
the curled truths
of
Take off your shoes.
“Watch, the rocks can be slippery”
they caution
I walk
trout-rich stream
close to our harvest
water cress @
the mountain’s base.

Among the posers.
the false positives

the shame of privilege
power
presumption

Mayfield’s daughters
Know our coal-mined
