Small girl
votes yes for
revolution she falls
from the sky
a tumbleweed
seeking buttery layers
of freedom burrowing
into the prominent
lap of home she petals open
and rain falls
glorious ancestral memories
counter
aspirations a treaty with
the future a pact
with the past watchful
hopeful dunes of her
expectant heart crossed
with the provocative
tracks of massive
armored trucks buried
under the shifting sands of her
heated experience there
is no real choice
