Not of This Tribe

When did wild become
undesirable instead of
unbreakable?  

The ancient prayers
made of sharp blades
and fire deserve
their blessings;

their beaks and claws
broke earth, moved stone,
defined desire.

You with your civility
and power, your diseased
organized, concrete 
towers, your thick

black lungs, grey
celled, anemic hearts
have become

intolerable.
