Twenty-five remembers when the world Was not our slave, when rivers danced and sang Entering their gauntlets, when grass and fire Needed each other, and earth and flood. The choir Then sang full throated, the food each season sprang Yet thrashing to the feasts of those who served. For thousands of millennia we lived In harmony with those we ate, their spirits Vested momently in flesh, their avid Embers still in love with those who grieved.
