Apache, Navajo, Diné,
I was in the Rez
on my way to heaven.
I found my brothers
in Santa Ana and in the desert.
Later, I went up to the white mountain
where you were waiting for me
with a vessel of fresh water.
I moistened my lips
in the freshness of your smile.
I slept in your embrace;
I woke up in the new sun
with the morning light of your love
signaling the new day.
Apache, Navajo, Diné,
I was in the Rez
on my way to heaven.
And I gave you a rug
weaved in Albuquerque.
P.S.: "The Rez" = Short for Reservation. Not political correct.
