late summer prairie
the harrier hangs on
a washed sky

Chilocco School of Beauty  -- school song during the last years it was open.
On the broad and sweeping prairie, 'neath the skies of blue
stands our lovely alma mater, alma mater true

Indian braves and Indian maidens, walking hand in hand
great our past we face the future in this glorius land.

Oh Chilocco school of beauty, may she ever be
filled with courage, pride and honor, love and loyalty!

the river
bloated with mud‘n sorrow
looses it bounds

the red water
waves lap against
a bedroom door

Creating Paradise

the sweltry  night
a trace of champa blooms
her ghost
