Circus of questions...

Sherman Alexie - The words come from his poem The Powwow at the End of the World.

Circus of questions
Dancing shallows gathered feet
A cloud burst topples

Bright lightning bolts drop
Shoulder causes broken hoops
Broken storms forgive

Parched and cracked
The old earths with
A thirst that
Supercedes
Evaporation
Guzzled
The torrential magic of
Unseasonal rains

Ochry palettes
Released
Tiny tugs of green life

While from the mist of
Other times
Some legendary
Mother River
Breathes and slides
The birth of Water
Down to Father Ocean

But this was just
A passing sigh
The rains came
The rains died
The earth cried for
A little while

And now I gaze on
A lonely sea
Embroidered with
Murmuring
Silken seaweed
Like relics
Like memories
Then turn
Wistfully to
The muddied river banks
Fading
Like Eurydice and
Drying
