Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Free verse

Dream Caught Culture

Embraced
Your Dream Catchers
Have been tattooed on our culture

They Grace our hides
Our windows
And our rear view mirrors

Protecting us
Shielding us
Defining us

Circles
Web woven
Sinew sewn
Brandishing
Your Eagle's feathers

Rolling along
With the nightmare
In the mirror
Fading in the distance
