       The SandhillsThe language of craneswe once were toldis the wind. The windis their method, their current, the translated storyof life they write across the sky.Millions of yearsthey have blown hereon ancestral longing,their wings of wide arrival,necks long, legs stretched outabove strands of earthwhere they arrivewith the shine of water,stories, interminablelanguage of exchangesdescended from the skyand then they stand,earth made only of cranefrom bank to bank of the riveras far as you can seethe ancient story made new.--Linda Hogan#VerseThursday  #TodaysPoem #reading #poetry @bookstodon(Art credit: Martha Lancaster)
