“Ancestor Connections” (Poem)

“Ancestor Connections”

By: Leah Sicat

 

touching you with my heart in the Pacific

holding my hand across generations

washing bowls of rice

measuring the water with my fingertips

nourishing my body by handfuls

with mouthfuls

from the land

is life

is the people

is the language

is the way you see me

the way I see you

how we connect

through time
