The Moving Wall, 2002

..
The Native people came.
They walked the grass and found
where sky agreed to name
this land a sacred ground.

A golden eagle flew
and mountain mares were fed
as afternoon withdrew
and name by name the dead

were resurrected here.
No shaman could destroy
the reverence and fear
that filled my little boy.
