O Appalachia:

mother and maw

that births and devours us,

roots sunk deep and winding as

gnarled hands clasped in prayer,

hold us fast and give us foundation.

O knotted cage and vine wrought chains

O feast of hills and green,

that which feeds our hearts

but often starves our blood:

Hear us now.
