the shores of gitchie goomie

[magnoliaclaw]

from the shores of gitchie goomie
a little native yelled
with hunger in her belly
and wanting, her heart swelled

and this was just the usual
by the shores of soft water waves
for all the calm in nature
and sleeping dogs in caves

there's a howl and yowl, still
though the shores exist no more
beneath the heavy buildings
the passions of folklore
