And Now History

in the burn of bay leaves
those coals women keep
suggests safety of entry
to hear how you landed
it is mint and soda water
tossed back to clean throats
for dust once touched hands
reenacts what was has origin
follow but never care to speak
those that the winds are relevant
nod to crowd it is good that you
came here and place is my time
i come with letters never sent
read and then we will talk
