the longhouse, 1998

I've got to write of "indian wealth",
fill in all the blanks. There are
your screams of lines
and subtle burnings
then there are the rosaries
in your murdered choir,
a shelter I prayed in as the rain
played tin. My eyes were ravens then,
foggy feathers in your hands.

I pulled up to the curb and saw an old women carrying a coffee mug,

the mug had a kitten on it,

the kitten was holding a ball of yarn,

the yarn was yellow.

She bent over and picked up a cigarette butt,

and put it in the mug.

She was wearing blue on her eyes and pink on her cheeks.

I smiled at her,

she kind winked back.


And then she kicked my car.
