Breath and Bones

Ingrid Oliphant

The bones

They carry us when we are breathing

and carry the breath

to get us home when

we are not.


The breath

continues

as prayer

and whistles through the bones.


Carried by the winds

to an ear,

they call toward home.


Seeking to replace the lostness

with a space the heart knows.

When the breaths without body

land on the heart,

with a whisper or a drum,

they cannot be unheard.

Firmament

Firmament...Say it out loud Doesn't it sound when it rolls from the tongue like something solid underneath the feet A place that births...
