birthland by Vivienne Granti can proclaim & disclaim
all i like
but the real claim is the land’s
there’s a magnetic drawing – pulling –
to the soil and rocks
scrubby thornbush
good tarred roads
all say hello – again
it’s an earthy welcome – deep
deeper than thought
a drawing in of the cord
that was stretched …
but not broken
