Navajo

William H. Simpson

YOUR desert land is—

An old squaw,

Mumbling old words

Beside dead embers of old thoughts.

What she has told you

Is not told to me,

Though I ask.

Your desert land is—

Coyote,

Running alongside white horses

As the wolves howl.

What it has found out, running,

Is not told to me,

Though I ask.
