Singing Sister in white muslin
among sheep
in a sandland of blowing colors
mostly reds.
Standing Horse's flank
a chant of beauty and meat
coyote track,
and a witch winter's teeth.
Singing Sister
a robe, a man, some calico
and slow the clouds—
fat wethers—
and black the crow
toward the mesa.
Singing Sister quiet
among the flock
alive
in beauty.
