yellow robin (lament for a former world)

Joseph Horvat, yellow robin

image by Joseph Horvat

hello, yellow robin

I wish I knew your earth name

 

the name you were called

by those who had heard
only the earth

by those whose stories
were of this land

your name
— naming all of you

 

not imposed
by a remembered image
of another land

 

I wish I knew your earth name
