With Lightning Fire

These cold shadows
   Left by the Ancestors
What secrets do they keep?
Is your knowledge lost?
How should our Mother grieve?
      with floods
      with quakes
      with storms
      with lightning fire
With all manner of stirring to
Shake the virus from her
   blood
It seems as though
human gods have
   forsaken
Our Mother
Where is the good medicine?
