On the Eminence of Indigenous Nations
(n204)
.
lost under a full arc'd rainbow,
was found on the highest hill,
rode on a huey through tight canyons
and threw shells on a peaceful village.
.
accepted the love of a wanderer,
said she found her home at last,
we rode on a huey above mountains,
and threw shells on a beautiful dream.
.
on a train through great wide spaces,
i sang to the chief of the buffalo,
my eyes saw a thousand tipees ,
the white men rode with sabers.
.
mother earth raised a patch of grass,
seated me upon its softness,
i railed at her with angry voice,
"be still dear knight, i am correction".
.
she shred the cloaks of merchants,
and cut the tongues of errant priests,
i saw spring come to winter winds.
the tipees were raised again.
