By Rachel Turney
PROMPT — Who am I today?
I change direction like a flock of small birds
I burn for seventy hours or even more
I clear ground on the way to the trailhead
I graze over mountain tops with the prettiest of views
I sing in a style that no one enjoys
I peel little oranges and leave them in Tupperware to liquefy
