Snail-slow the Land
changes and moves
man’s tracks
of foot and shoe and vehicle
alongside deer
racoon
fox and
cat
Snail-slow the Land
reaches and grasps
enfolding potential
within the foundations
where once the house
and again the house
Snail-slow the Land
waits and rests
eagles call
flickers in the woods
the black-caps sift through
and time is coming
Snail-slow the Land
will build
will receive
will become
will exist
and soon
the land
will be home
