seneca
village,

restoring the foundation of what was dismantled.

uncovering time,
they tell the stories through us.

built on the back of trust you’d never touch,
yet,
their tamed gardens are the very soil in which we

grew.

let us never forget the essence of the ones that planted the seed.

for the souls we look into and
the air to breathe,

to the buried memories of Central Park.
