taking notes on a pad named EARTHWISE
I wonder, what does ‘earthwise’ mean?
perhaps the manufacturer’s caring
for our imperiled Universe
BUT
who is really EARTHWISE?
Celts
Druids
on rough hilltops
linking with Solstice bonfires
knowing to honor
the sacred oak
the rowan tree
as friends
every American Indian
of whom it has been prophesied
“a time will come when white man
seeks your wisdom”
