Lost Species poem 21: Geraldine Green

We're back, after a bit of a break, with my series begun in late November last year. I've had so many responses there will be more throughout February, too, though from now I shall probably punctuate them more with other things as I know many of you are not poets.

Thank you all for visiting; and thank you, Geraldine, for another fine poem to add to this collection.

Giving voice

how to give a voice in anothers voice?

a wolf voice a coyote voice a river voice

a hedgehog voice. how to give a song

to the coyote song the red wolf song

the curlew song. how to give a voice 


to the river song the mountain song 


the earth song the you song the me 


song the without the earth where

would we be song? voice of
 coyote

song wolf song hedgehog 


song without the mountain

song 
the wild mountain

thyme song 
sand

dune song, song

the seal song

the toads


song

the you


song the me


song without them, then,


who 
are we?
