My first thoughts after seeing Black Elk giving his thanks to the wind

the silver cliffs a backdrop
to this land now shared by all
the river dried up long before
its water as a rule
polluted by the waste
of white men in their cities where
the sky they seldom ever see
too often in their concrete house
far away from me
I kneel before the heavens
and suck in all the air
arms aloft I feel the soft
rain now on my hair
I love the glowing colours
this is where I stay
not far from where my father and my
baby sister lay
