The Mobile Tensaw Delta: Miracle of What Happens The Delta knows the measure of wind, knows what happen when the voice of thunder comes loud from the sky and the Breathmaker blows and blows, threatens and blows and the pines bend low, almost as low as the earth, and its needled hair falls loose on the footpath, and the hickory snaps and is broken, and the oak tries to stand against whorls unseen but felt in limb-wrenching dislocation— the ineffable, destroyer and redeemer scattering tiny seeds, bearing them into a wildwood wild ernes where they wait for tomorrow’s sunrise and the warm moist nurturing mud-ground, primer of life for otter and owl, bobcat and beetle, spider and fern and butterfly, heron lifting one thin leg from settled water, Dawn Man and Woman, Blue-Sky Woman and Twilight Man, never-ending breath of life: The Mobile Tensaw Delta: Miracle of What Happens -Sue Walker
