he wore it

proudly

tucked in the woven red sash

tied around his waist.

it is handsome—

as the gichi-mookomaan

holds it overhead,

i see

the flash of silver

and the handle

half as long as a man's arm,

circled

with bands of black

and brown

like a striped insect

that hums over summer fields.

but i know, too,

that the tomahawk

of Ten Claws

flies on angry wings

when it is thrown.

i remember

how Ten Claws was too much mad,

how he took his tomahawk one night

and plunged into the dark and snow.

we called out to him,

béka! béka! stop!

but he would listen to

no one.
