[Murmurs from the earth of this land?]

Murmurs from the earth of this land, from the caves and craters,
  from the bowl of darkness. Down watercourses of our
  dragon childhood, where we ran barefoot.
We stand as growing women and men. Murmurs come down
  where water has not run for sixty years.
Murmurs from the tulip tree and the catalpa, from the ax of
  the stars, from the house on fire, ringing of glass; from
   the abandoned iron-black mill.
Stars with voices crying like mountain lions over forgotten
  colors.
Blue directions and a horizon, milky around the cities where the
  murmurs are deep enough to penetrate deep rock.
Trapping the lightning-bird, trapping the red central roots.
You know the murmurs. They come from your own throat.
You are the bridges to the city and the blazing food-plant green;
The sun of plants speaks in your voice, and the infinite shells of
  accretions
A beach of dream before the smoking mirror.
You are close to that surf, and the leaves heated by noon, and
  the star-ax, the miner’s glitter walls. The crests of the sea
Are the same strength you wake with, the darkness is the eyes
  of children forming for a blaze of sight and soon, soon,
Everywhere, you own silence, who drink from the crater, the
  nebula, one another, the changes of the soul.
