Manzanita from Inheritance by Deathless Gods with Human Bods
California, 1972
While on vacation with her family, staring out the window for hours on the Pacific Coast Highway with a book about the archaeology of the Yucatán in her lap, Nancy makes up a song.

Lyrics
Are you the deer that came to our window
Out of your deep grey forest?
How could you tell we’re tourists?
Let’s pretend like we’re our ancestors
Let’s live and die and try it all
Let’s carve our names in stone for the centuries
And still feel nebulously small
Am I the land from which I’m growing
Or shoved off this rocky shore,
Unmoored forever more?
