For the Dakota People - from "New Poems"



For the Dakota People

Your song is your land
Your vision is the parliament
Your people are a poem
See yourself – Sun-metal

Moulded into characters
Natural hues
gently touched with a brush
to be yourself

This poem is dead
It was killed by greed 
Sweet dreams of harmony
Fake dreams, the chains
Are your companions
We all have to wear them

Have you embraced the demon yet?
Look the Death in the eye
Look the Sun in the eye
The Sun in the eye

The Sun in the I.
