agua caliente
woman of iron
with rock feet
and stone children

you dance statues
on mojave earth
the sun knows your skin
and fears your cold eyes

you carry dry water
in your earthen bowl
the wind comes to drink
you laugh cactus on glass

long knives bring gold
to your temple
you feed them famine cakes
they chew with empty teeth

the navaho make tattoos
on your belly lands
with rail track lines
you burn their feet bottoms

when they tiptoe to marry your daughters...
