		<title>Wild Mercy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The eyes of the future are looking
back at us and they are praying for us
to see beyond our own time.  They
are kneeling with hands clasped that
we might act with restraint, that we
might leave room for the life that is
destined to come.  To protect what is
wild is to protect what is gentle.
Perhaps the wilderness [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Good Start</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A Good Start — Maria Taylor
You&#8217;re one with the burden of intuition.
You&#8217;re one with the freedom of a blank stare.
You&#8217;re one with the best friend you lost
You wish was still there.
You&#8217;re one with the dust on that old piano.
You&#8217;re one with the strings on your new guitar.
You&#8217;re one with the wind through the open window,
You [...]]]></description>

		<title>She Had Some Horses by Joy Harjo</title>

She Had Some Horses
She had some horses.
She had horses who were bodies of sand.
She had horses who were maps drawn of blood.
She had horses who were skins of ocean water.
She had horses who were the blue air of sky.
She had horses who were fur and teeth.
She had horses who were clay and would break.
She had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Stranger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Goodbye stranger it&#8217;s been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I&#8217;ll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
~ Supertramp

		<title>The Egg Moon &amp; The Deer-Woman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Firebird Does Not Learn
She is an egg and every shadowed glance,
every silent forest destroys her.
She is newborn and the shark-tooth grit
of the earth clings to her wet eyes.
She is in flames, the jeweled fire
that everyone remembers,
and then, what she had not foreseen,
She is burned and not consumed.
Burned. She feels her feathers
knit together. Burned. It [...]]]></description>
