HER

I was thinking about her…and her…and her…and her…then her and her again.

Then her…and him…and them…and us…and all of us.

The ancestors.

OUR ancestors.

In the trees. In the earth. On the earth.

Above the earth.

And it was there…

in the sky and in the air and in the stars.

Who are you? I asked.

and it lit up…and was gone.

Just like them.
