Prairie Suite: A Celebration, Twyla Hansen, Paul A. Johnsgard
Paul Johnsgard Collection
25 poems by Twyla Hansen, with illustrations by Paul A. Johnsgard, including:
Walk on the Prairie
There is mystery here, in the shapes of grass,
in the dim movements of an inland sea,
connections to an earlier time. Wander barefoot,
hypothesize the dance of millennia, the unbearable
carvings of the built environment, this ragtag escape.
Let its divine simplicity ooze into your pores.
Comb the steel from your hair, blanket your
tongue with orange. Your breathing will slow.
Breathing slow, unbutton the child within.
Give her permission to go fly a kite.
