At the water's edge

                 —for Stephanie & Grace and all sisters standing at the water's edge


A great body of water

touches

unites

the shores where we stand

here in the high desert

when I climb the highest peaks

I feel the ancestral ocean

I see great sea floor

on its slopes

scattered volcanic rocks

stone faces of long silent giants

the waters of the pacific

reach me here

I stand on this shore

feeling its other shores

where my sisters stand

gazing out on the open waters…


                                    —Lorena
