For David LaChapelle
by Julie Pigott
Deep Breath
The last time I saw him
I brought sage and
a feather wrapped in red
Grieving
I bowed before him
tried to speak
“STOP,” he commanded
“Take a deep breath
and start again.”
So I took a long deep breath
and another
while he waited
“A gift from eagle, left
on the beach for you,”
I spoke, offering the bundle
Nodding in gratitude
trembling hands lifted the
eagle feather
Picked up sacred sage
took a long deep breath
and another
While I waited
