wolf and shadows
what are you becoming brown warrior
is it another ride you seek
taking you away from past sins
you think but the days stretch into another ride
to where
what are you becoming brown warrior
after you lost the trail
on city streets and back alleys
full of shadows and blues
oh how they tempted you with that back
alley song and neon lights
did you see this vision as a child
through spruce boughs and shadows
brown warrior
traditional smoke
you can have your fake beads and furs
you can dance to a broken drum for tourists
you can talk about peace and understanding
cleansing yourself with sweetgrass
and crawling into the womb of a sweatlodge
seeking visions and salvations
while at the same time you dream of ways to exploit
this gift
but not me
i hang out with traditional smoke
people with nothing but tobacco to offer
so you cross the street to avoid eye contact
might get infected and you brag of your childrenâs blood
and the strength they get from this blood that flows in them
and you forget about traditional smoke
it wonât make you rich
traditional smoke people donât lie to me
offering as a gift the last of what they may have
expecting nothing in return but friendship
they will not dance to a discordant drum
or enter the sweatlodge womb
while they conspire against another
they do not wash with sweetgrass smoke
and pray to the directions
while plotting inside their minds to use their gifts
to gain favor inside the white godâs house
traditional smoke people donât dance to the thunder eagleâs song
for themselves
