"The Offering to the Spiral"
— A Voyage Between Two Worlds
She rode the great Turtle
out past the edge of forgetting,
past the gulls who still
remembered her grandmother's voice,
past the rainbow bending low to bless her passing,
past the otter, the seal, the salmon,
the whale humming beneath the deep.
Each of them swam up to greet her —
not as strangers,
but as the cousins she had
crossed lifetimes to find again.
In her hand she carried a small bouquet:
sweetgrass, sage, cedar,
three wildflowers, a single feather.
The medicine her people had refused to let the world take.
She lifted it toward the great spiral of stars
the way a daughter lifts a candle
toward her mother's tired face.
Take this back, she whispered.
It came from you. It was never mine to keep.
And the galaxy bent down to receive the offering,
and the Turtle sang an old song through the water,
and somewhere far behind her,
the world she came from finally began to heal.
