Expatriation
by Teri Micco
From Canary Spring 2019
Teri lives among the junipers, piñons, cholla and ravens in the high desert lands underneath the talkative skies of northern New Mexico in the Galisteo watershed.
Perishing
from thirst encrusted betrayal,
The trees are migrating —
the word spreading like twilight
through the flickering synapses
of their faltering roots.
One subterranean song.
One skylit heart — incalculable —
swallowing unfamiliar stars
and drinking the hushed,
yet beckoning, moon.
My constellation ending now
where theirs begins —
our souls still breathing
ineluctably
as one.
