POET OF THE WEEK
Gerri L. Williams
Week of October 2
Water upon my face,
I thank you.
Water upon my lips,
medicine to me.
Washing my hair in
Cannonball River –
strengthens me.
I place cedar roses
in water,
as sun opens
her eyes.
I stand against
the black snake,
with my fist to the sky.
Dedicated to Standing Rock
