for M.H.
They found sweetness
at the root so called it
torture Found tekite
figures kept in tact
& called them white
They called to not
remember Forgot
to find again & found
roots resembling nerves
& called them
dyed by the ink
of what they found
there dictated
'til they were lost
So called themselves
Preserved
in the mouth of each
who repeated it
were those Who had
recalled
