Turtle Medicine
Stoned on Shiva
the brown eyed girl
walks a square mile
in a natural trance
sets the controls
for the heart of the sun
dances chaos in the jungle
a Bedouin in her own private desert
until turtle medicine
whispers softly in her ear
“I’ll be there”
and finding faith from within
she is healed
far and beyond
my wish for her.
