Short Line Circle
Ghosts
When the wind hurls the mist
from the river at the stars
and the coyotes beg
the moon yield her heart,
Cheyenne and Arapaho
hunt phantom buffalo
in the whispering grass.A truck klaxon
counts coup
on the night's quiet.
Buffalo and hunter
fade in the moonlight.
The wind swallows
the coyote petitions.
The mist scurries
to hide in the river.
