FORGOTTEN
No one remembers
how to found a town.
Who traces the site of outdoors,
who the flight lines of the birds?
And the house,
the house is different now, what was a house like?
And who is the mourner for the blood,
who its healer?
No one remembers any longer how day is prepared,
how the light turns on, what the embers are like
of the night's coal.
Who will be in charge of the storms,
who sheltered by the fire?
And who will pronounce the spells?
Who will wake the morning so it will be truly
morning?
We no longer know how to summon the light and how
to undo the traps of death;
who will go among things distinguishing poisonous
and edible?
Who will be the wind's switchtender?
And who then will fabricate water?
Does someone remember how to make water?
