Pilgrimage
"Meridians bind bone and blood
to soil and stone,
long hills enfold the pilgrim
traveling home.
Ancient sentinels raise their many arms
in praise for warming sun,
in supplication for pounding monsoon rains.
Creosote incense carries
their prayers to heaven.
Pilgrim knows ledges in the sun
are only sand and stone,
but he listens
as evening whispers."
- Kate Kosse
