Dinetah


old Navajo land



canyons



Dinetah the people



four clouds

first man an ear of white corn

tow clouds meeting

two other meet

first woman an ear of yellow corn.



Coyote and spider beings



holy people living in the clouds



we know them by name



Big Sheep Peak

Mount Tailor

Frisco peaks

Pelado mountains



abalone shells

changing woman eternally young



Athapascan they spoke



Sierra Blanca Peak, Colorado



I walked on wooden floors

my boots made loud noise

loud enough for them to hear



I was dreaming in starlight.
