Song for the Deer and Myself to Return On
Joy Harjo

This morning when I looked out the roof window
before dawn and a few stars were still caught
in the fragile wet heft of ebony night
I was overwhelmed. I sang the song Louis taught me:
a song to call the deer in Creek, when hunting,
and I am certainly hunting something as magic as deer
in this city far from the hammock of my mother’s belly.
