Little Dark Breeze
by Maryann Hazen

^. A darkness tramples over horizon
^. lassoed by a mystic moon.
^. Tumbleweeds tremble in the night
^. puffed about beneath a star-shot sky.
^. Faces pale upon pin-cushion prairie
^. to stampede this symbol of sanity.
^. To scratch open our sky with flaming fire-sticks
^. in a jangle of jealousy and judgement.

^. Dream catcher blows for Little Dark Breeze.
^. Fearless feathers flutter in flight
^. to snatch that nightmare straight
^. from thin air - arrow head true -
^. ?lest dagger days besiege
^. the outpost in his head.

^. Warring hands praying
^. for bombs, books and backbones.
^. Shedding the skin of damned nobility.
^. Dancing in the dust of tin destiny.
^. Begging with a copper penny pot
^. in a wooden nickel world where,
^. the Great Spirit?s president rides
^. the back side of our blessed buffalo.
^. A riotous rodeo of sorrow.
