Sarayaku
by Camelia Jade
one night grows a spark
caching light from your eyes
burning through
the greatest lies the world has known
let it grow
as we learn to live
as we soften our steps
tell me,
have you had enough
of this yet?
I bow my head
to the Earth,
she’s asking us
what life is worth
brittle leaves
covered your heart
they leave slow
like little leaves,
open your heart
can we let go?
with the thirst of thunder
rolling over our bodies
it’s getting harder to deceive us
with the names of conquered valleys
rising in the mountains to dream
we are letting go
of the lie that says
the truth
isn’t worth your time
may your heart
grow lush and wild
with the pulse of the earth
tell me,
what is it worth?

Red Hill Town
by Mike Antone
red hill town, sun going down
children are sleeping
mining bound, jobs to be found
work for your living.
if you could stack all of your thoughts
as strong as Mayan walls
at the top of the temple
you would sacrifice time to love
sacrifice time to love
red hill town, sun going down
people are sleeping
flying bird around your town
work for your living
if you could stack all of your thoughts
as strong as Mayan walls
at the top of the temple
you would sacrifice time to love
sacrifice time to love

The Memory of Water
by Camelia Jade
deep within a memory
water drew the names,
knowing not, North or South
reading the touch of canyon walls
speaking from the river’s mouth
the world turns its face
as we overturn the earth
another place
collapses beneath our weight
there’s money to be made
from the heart of someone else’s land
most would never leave their homes
if they could just push back our heavy hands
the price of our dreams
topped with barbed wire
I sing to the names (lost)
in the sand …
I carry you across
I carry you with me
Coconino, Tarahumari.
Oh how they fear
the ones who are truly free
rising like water
over snakes and spines
over the open sky
the place that you were born,
do you still speak the names?
Cohonino, Tarahumara ...
would you hold your tongue
beneath a thunder cloud
and pray
for all of the lines
that we carefully paint
to be washed away?

Bloom
a dream will grow heavy
unless you move
I hear a song from the edge of the sky
each day, each breath, calls for you
will you sing aloud, love
to cool the ground?
and with each breath
can we change?
pure and cool as the wind
that calls for you
how suddenly the spirit moves
grown in heat and earth
will you dream aloud
to cool the ground?
and with each breath
grown deeper than you would
you are
a dream of the ocean
to a body of water
you are
a sea of flames.

Lovebird
by Mike Antone
You travel light, below the moon
on a Stellar's Jay, you pray to the plume
in a Flicker’s heart, the lovers dance
for the feathers guard the sacred trance
You travel light, with lots of soul
like an Eagle’s flight upon the road
So hold on tight and buckle up
for an Owl’s dream might wake you up
A Raven sings of magic things
Of the autumn wind and the love that it brings
A Raven speaks of magic things
Of the autumn wind and the love that it brings
