The First and Last Ghost Dance of Lester Falls Apart
It rained buffalo
in a wheat field
just off the reservation.
Confused and homeless
but otherwise free
of injury, the buffalo were rounded up and shipped
to Spokane's Walk in the Wild Zoo.
From behind a symbolic chain link fence
the buffalo stared
intelligently
at white visitors
who soon became very nervous.
Everything beautiful
begins somewhere.
