lantanas

4 April 2013 ~ Narinda

tiny
beautiful
invasive

wherever
i see
their
familiar
little
petals

i smile
ruefully

wondering
what natives
they’ve
displaced

I live and make pottery on Chochenyo and Karkin Ohlone land. If you live there, too, please consider joining me in paying the Shuumi Land Tax.

If you live elsewhere, please consider spending some time searching out the indigenous organizations nearest you to support.

And, if you feel financially spacious, I am currently seeking support for my 2023 writing residency at Vermont Studio Center.
