I WAS CHARMED



you charmed the socks off of me 
into bare feet 
and warm earth 
afghans and photographs 

it is so easy to see you 
more than native american 
for the want of some higher name one breath 
a summer breeze 

a brilliant piece of sky stone glinting and beguiling 
a marble to a child 

you are earth mother 
woman of the 
wind
