(Click here to hear the poet read/sing her poem)
Give us this day our daily bread
Eternally fed in wombs
Entombed in holy rooms
Where ovum in oven rise
With the breath of life
And genetic keys are recipes
To what we be
Give us this day our daily bread
Words authored by mother tongues wed
Beams of light
Flight of ships
Holy waters seas-of-men
Sail and swim ashore
To bore a tree of life
Give us this day our daily bread
Posterity for heredity said
Give light for lives
Because blood in bone is made wise
Toned by life
Fed to eyes and ears
To hear and fear no one
Eat for strength everyday
Earth water winds and sun and
Give us this day our daily bread
We carry the sacred bowls and are fed
The rain bows be us
The breath of life seize us
And gives us this day
Our daily bread
Bread of heaven bread of heaven
Feed us ‘til we want no more!
