Wearing a mohawk of feathers

I emulate the Lakota Fancy Dance

My arms – eagle wings

As I bank a turn left then right

Stompting my feet

I stir the dust.

Remembering our first people

Living in America

With it’s very different value system.

( like now)

We can’t even imagine the creativity needed

To pull this off but we are getting a look at it.

We have allies..

The earth’s incredible power

“America the Beautiful”

The corn fields in Ohio, the splash of Lake Erie.

Driving across endless Texas with Pricilla

As we delivered art to Florida,

She just had to stop in Paris Texas

To have me take her photo.

And Yellowstone tucked inside Wyoming

It’s ever present sacred heat

Reminding us that the earth lives

And we are hers.

Leaving the mind and moving into my feet

I dance with you my beloved.
