The visit


Somewhere in the heart of beloved Dinetah
In the midst of sagebrush and junipers
There she lies, the friend,
In the most peaceful place where she belongs
A simple mound of soil
A name, surrounded with faded desert flowers
There I deposited two tears with my own hands
For the friend, lost to an addiction
Poisoned gift of our ancestors
