The meadow bends beneath the ghosts of bison feet<BR>
and wettens with their breath<BR><BR>
hushed a hundred years ago.<BR>
A wild cat screams <BR>
like a frightened child past unseen trees.<BR>
Perhaps it will not be too long<BR>
before the particle of moon arrives.<BR>
<BR>
Embers of flames have dulled to dust.<BR>
Little comfort there.<BR>
Human flesh and threads<BR>
and loosely tethered nerves<BR>
are little match for steep intemperate night.<BR>
A song hung about my mouth all day<BR>
but now has stuck in my throat<BR>
like a dead tree in the spring river<BR>
and the prayer flitting about my mind<BR>
finds little hope on which to light.<BR>
<BR>
Coyote cries.<BR>
I must find friendship<BR>
in such a lonely gesture.<BR>
I am a gazer of stars with no direction<BR>
and nowhere I must go except within:<BR>
among the beasts and heroes of darkness<BR>
the stories and a million lights.</FONT></P>
