Not Alone


 

Alone is a fallacy

No creature exists independently

All seasons, elements, directions

None can thrive without each other

You need other communities

You need white people

Though bestowed with witchery they may be

The greenbottle flies cannot survive without spider woman’s stories

Though she may mean their demise

It’s worth the risk

Without her or them or anything

You, I and anyone would be non-existent.
