in our
family
we water
journey. it's
in our blood.
the river ones
go deep in the
wild of our
bodies, while
the ocean
crossings
traverse the
sides of our
brains. we
were born
into this.
mergansers
float our arteries,
flying fish go
through our
neurons, and
loons call in
our past. we
journey white
water, tides and
slack in still
moon and in
black
