Acknowledging Our Elders
Along the Bronx River
This river has witnessed every arrival.
We move quickly beside them.
To witness them,
we must learn to see differently.
The Bronx River still holds its elders.
She was not planted here.
She returned.
Lupine
Native to this land.
Absent along the Bronx River for many seasons.
Now present again.
She stands here without invitation.
She found her way back to the Bronx River.
She has reclaimed her position.
Lupine is the first to reveal herself.
The Bronx River holds many more elders.
