How superficially I walk upon this earth not honoring its peoples. I kick their dust and
swallow their air. They who invisioned the clay and stone beneath their feet. Who barefoot felt
each leaf and twig. With leather and cloth I separate myself from the elemental. I dwell in

foot fall on rocky edges
makes me real again
