Appalachia










It would be a returning.
Though our skin has never tasted
the air,
our bones have been in every tree -
in the strings of a dulcimer
and in the moss
worn by the
stones,
which would mark every step.
Meet me there,
when my eyes are gray
and my hands are knotted -
with young eyes
we will see how much the world
can truly give.
