Route 66 Cuervo, New Mexico |
“Here is the world of wolves and bears and of old, instinctive being, so noble and indifferent as to be remote to human knowing. The scales upon which we seek a balance measure only a divide.”
~from the poem “Division” by N. Scott Momaday
A Love Supreme
Dog’s
collar, bleached white bones
Icons
of yarn and nip and paperback strips
Stuck
in the sweetgrass
The
Taos sky a windblown gray
Penitente
heart, penitente wind
Crying
in the cottonwood grove
Disco
dance under broken bourbon glass
Trinkets
and tin and cellophane
Spinning shards of silver light
Spinning shards of silver light
High
on the mountain her wind sings
As
pine bough strings
Strumming
His
colorless dreams
Nieves
penitentes
Pointing
icy fingers to the noonday sun
Solar
radio hums
Sangre
de Cristo
Old
man river far below
Cold
and low
Before
it sings of spring
A
magpie sings to her lover
Undercover
willow canopy
Tail
above nest
Water
steams from a skinny-dipping spring
Singing
“A Love Supreme”
