yet having my features
thought him my own;
while his was an expression
of wisdom and love,
in me was surprise and awe .
i searched for him,
through many men whose voices were heard,
a lineage of incarnation the great hope,
though finding no resonance in online text,
or photographs, still without a name .
i saw you before i was
able to learn anything more ...
i bothered you at work
and we never had coffee ...
then in the summer,
I was outside one fine day,
and in pure thought, an answer
began to form, and I learned ...
the man in the mirror was very important;
he gathered together the tribes in the northeast,
forming a council, the last to convert
a powerful war chief, who was appointed
head of the council .

"some say that the Peacemaker and the Jigonsaseh
wed ... "
... "I wish to raise her as our own ."
