| PNB sometime in midsummer 2K the university sends me to the reservation to teach one young woman, but there are crowds of people everywhere. we work on our lesson at a table in her family room: the large TV blaring her mother entering and leaving father half asleep on the sofa. she whispers her name to me is so quiet rarely meets my gaze. our next appointment is agreed upon with a quick nod. a signature. walking through the tribal auditorium, young boys surround me, giggling asking questions. at the top of the long steps, everyone can see big washes of rain on the highway: a deep blue mist and silver water. so why not take a stroll, it seems people know me. one woman leads me to a barn with three horses. the woman leads me into the stall of a young gray mare who will soon be entirely white, and gives the mare to me. the light glows on the fine bones of the mare's face, and she lowers her forehead to mine-- so that her light blue eyes fill my vision. |
