shadows lurking near
early spring ghost-like spectre ~
precognitive flash
(February Full Moon – Algonquin)
brightest bulb in sky
colors trees with chill and hue ~
sparks of cold winter
(September Full Moon – Assiniboine)
Temporary
Love is a tiny bird
Landing on her branch
Only to soar far away.
There's no saying
How long she will stay.
"Nunna Dual Tsuny"
wild roses now grow
as living epitaphs on
"the trail where they cried"

beautiful bangtail
spirit untamed
racing tumbleweeds
thundering
across mesas
stallions wrestle
under night skies...
solunar evening
serene azure beckoning ~
stirrers of the deep
(August Full Moon – Great Lakes and Lake Champlain)
fish swimming upstream
spawning dreams of renewed life ~
cries of joyfulness
(April Full Moon – coastal Tribes)
Been asleep for long
Aboard this old train of dreams,
Time to awaken
To a truth long forgotten:
The tale of the forsaken.
bare bleached bones shining
vapored vision of verglas ~
horned owl screeches surge
(February Full Moon – Cherokee)
sterile white snowflakes
coldness covers the still night ~
snow wolf fluffs its tail
(January Full Moon – Algonquin)
mustard spreads its warmth
stone ground with bits of bold brown ~
leaves valiant passing
(September Full Moon – Lakota)
warm winds whispering
sweet sounds silently soothing ~
lone leaf lands lightly
(October Full Moon – Cree)
All those who write, train them to lead
To read all writings in some more speed
To find time to write more writings to read
A pact has been made
No feasting on human blood
The Cullen's behave

Wyandotte Indians
the peninsula dwellers
Iroquois speaking
their sign is turtle
the world was created
on the turtles back
Christmas cold nocturne
brightness lights the noiseless night ~
restless reindeer rise
(December Cold Moon – Mohawk)
This island is my garden,
As its gatekeeping warden
I protect all of which is splendid.
I forbid thee entree for what you did.
am from the south
thats my rout
am about soul
i do have golds
no doubt am reaching out
i grew up with toy
PLAIN OLD COUNTRY BOY
a warrior awakes
full~ hardened at sunrise
love breaks his fasting
young squaw with belly rounded
quickening~ a warrior wakes
His fur was soft and clean
as he ran
it was like a dream
when he tripped and fell
staight into hell
then he started to scream
Raindrops on my bedroom window,
I watch them falling from the sky.
Side to side they'll softly flow,
But down, down they'll fly.
Form:
My wheat ringlets
join my grandmother's thick dark hair
— incompatible
to those who throw stones
and call me "white Indian"
