lyrica interiorum
CONSTANCE
when i was pregnant, she told me
reaching back more than twenty years
for the memory
put sunflower seeds on my belly i used to read aloud to my son
so he could hear our bones
i love our voices, she saidchickadee & sparrow flutter down
lured by the seeds and undisturbed
by our voices
i put your hand on my belly
i invite you to read this aloud
i want to listen to our bones
& to love our voices, for a little while Joanne Arnott ( metis nation Canada )
