Here is one of the poems they published:
Prana
Mother to earth’s water cycle
breath is an airborne ocean
moving through
tissue, muscle, blood.
The woman is made new
at each in-breathing;
her scent, note, hue are
given away
at each out-breathing.
She becomes a river bed:
her stones, minerals, bones
sculpt the shape of water.
She breathes the earth,
calls it inside her body:
the coyote by night
at stream’s confluence
gnawing bones,
catching crayfish
grandchildren by day
splashing, squabbling;
stream ripples glisten
in sunlight
owl calls to her mate,
the woman motionless
is sheltered by pines.
Her mind, prayer, heart
flow out on the breath.
Earth and woman are
twined as lovers;
each one’s embrace
subtly shapes and
molds the other,
their rhythms rising
and falling in tandem.
An Aeolian harp
~ her strings tuned by unseen hands ~
it is her melody that
pleases the wind.
