The World In a Turtle Shell


                         ... as leaves push against the screen door

                                                                                         ... my Lakota grandmother appears

           ... it's yours now she says

                                                     ... hands me the world in a turtle shell





My reading of this poem on public radio:

    1. No, wish it was ... once had one very much like it ... it looks like the one in my vision/dream of my grandmother that led to this poem ... found it on Tumblr ... am hoping to find attribution ... Thanks, Tony!
