The Reservation

The song-swept desert rolls and tumbles in the wind,
Whipping like a headful of sandy hair.
The dust alights, then takes to the air.
The orange-red hills and their magnificent faces
Are ancient friends filling ancient spaces
And I am but a stranger, romanced
By the crimson peaks that two-hundred thousand
Navajo souls have always seen.
