The Land Remembers

The land lays silent and open
remembers the past 
as only earth can
in bits and pieces
that fall upon her
as buried bones
and abandoned parts

She wears her memories
deep duff and silt in fertile places
rock crag and carved channel in barren
moon washed and sun burned
to be seen by those willing to look

The land lays calling and open 
and speaks with voices 
too soft and foreign for most ears
with sandy whispers
and hot day hums
about desire and hope
and what changes in all of us
