Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.


Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

Crow

Ashishishe stood at bat. He'd show the Braves1 who was brave today. He wore his name "crow"2, like an emblem, in honor of his namesake3. Strike 3? Tomorrow, he grinned, and all the tomorrows left. Apsáalooke4 always rose from defeat5.

Footnotes
1  Many US sports teams are named Braves; it's a controversy these days.
2  Whether it translates as "crow" or "curly" is disputable.
3  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curly_(scout)
4  Crow people in Crow language.
5  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow_War Note: they are NOT a defeated people and maintain culture, land and language.
