Sleeping Peaceful In Clean Air Poem by Kimberly Burnham

The Altic root dictionary
a variation on "am"
to be quiet or sleep in
Tungus-Manchu Mongolian and Turkic

In Proto Mongolian "amu" or "ami" takes on
the meaning of rest peace quiet
and Russian "мир"
but loses sleep

Descending from there "amuxulaŋ" and "amara"
are Mongolian peace
but also to breathe easy
as if peace puts more oxygen into the air

In Kalmuck "amɣūləŋ" is also to breathe
and in Mogol "amūdu'i" is alive
as if deep sleep
gentle peace and clean air
are the stuff bringing us alive
