[Newspoetry] Sayings of Our Fathers

[DL Emerick]

Words came to Watonka Tatanka,

Like sprigs feathered birds clutch,

When they seek to build a nesting.

 

Black lightning thundered in sky,

Shattering the anger of the day,

Which heard such words spoken.

 

"Peace is never some additive,

Something to be added to others.

Peace is whole and is one, quiet."

 

"Break peace pipes, bury hearts,

If destroyers of the peace rule

And rule out the lives of others."

 

On hearing of this distant proposal,

Reb El and Mullah Al Fayad nodded.

 

Eagle soaring was undone by doves.
