<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clinker, post: 945987, member: 6229&quot;]Thought you might like to know my first Indian poem (I&#039;m a 1/10th breed Seneca) was published in a Lakota publication a few years before my stroke. Here it is:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At sunset</p><p>the craggy mountain&#039;s shadow stretched</p><p>across the reservation&#039;s fertile valley</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>plumging me into a world of</p><p>stark darkness</p><p>filled with all the familiar sounds of night&#039;s creatures.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At this spot</p><p>I sensed Death&#039;s errie spector</p><p>and heard the faint wail of a cry</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe was coming from someone</p><p>in this sacred burial ground.</p><p>I moved the talisman</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>pyre to pyre, grave to grave,</p><p>searching for that being</p><p>wishing to be set free.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Peering through the dense mists,</p><p>I noticed the marks</p><p>of white man&#039;s shovels</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and discovered,</p><p>that mournful cry,</p><p>was coming from inside me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clinker[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
