Friday, October 14, 2022: Ann Huang's "We are all earth's children"

 

We are all earth’s children

all we need is air &
                                spring
ocean is hectic possessing land
brazenly open to a long haul

being a human is to be remembered
by,
            hostess of breadth
reborn in nature

we are here beyond
                   this earthly life
waving at our ancestors
needing them not to waver

& who will we greet
                     without our past
to stand still in arms reach
of a period so marvelous that it rejoices
