Poetry of People / 181

Today, we connected with Alexis, 45, from Santa Barbara, Ca. 

"Footsteps trace 

tire tracks 

in parched alkali soil 

lake bottom bare 

and barren 

while in memory (of the elders) 

and vision (of the courageous)

a million birds- 

with wings 

of water- 

grace the sky."
