Wake up in darkness to run
towards where the sun
comes from
in grandma’s hogan
feet commencement
steady pounding drums
as cold air cools my lungs
all things poised
and turning eastward
sage, juniper, canyons
hardened path contains
my motion
towards the rising sun
a seed will stir, a tiny ember
a silent explosion
wings unfurl
like fingers upward
melting horizon
bead of blood,
light-roaring ocean
song that the spirit’s sung
knees comply to sandy altar
in beauty i have run
