A Storyteller’s Welcome
Welcome to the ways
in which
I, a storyteller
born and bred
now walk among the living,
and among the dead
listen now,
as I share with thee
whispered words
of stone
and tree
Cast out amongst
the tossing sea
outcasts now
we wander free
our supper now
of raven’s wings
and all the
bitter
beautiful
things
that freedom brings

This reminds me of this Tao Te Ching poem:
All around me men are working
but I am stubborn, and take no part.
The main difference is this:
I prize the breasts of the mother.
