\nWhere does the earth end?
\nThe girl did not know.
\nPlanets fell from the Baobab tree.
\nStars circumvented the zenith
\nand seasons brought the perfume
\nof dry and wet.
\nYears harvested her dreams.
\nShe brought her sunsets,
\nher yellow skies,
\nto the gray and blue of Ohio.
\nPeople who lived in a different place.<\/p>\n
Teach me, she said, to bake
\nyour cookie bread.
\nShe would barter Africa,
\nsinging, talking,
\nstories of the grass and wayside
\nof man\u2019s original house,
\nin another land
\nat solstice time.
\nWhere her heart
\nhad no flame,
\nto lift her wings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
