by Ethel Mortenson Davis to the Navajo
I’ll bring a peach sapling
for you–
for the peach trees
that were cut
and burned.
And I’ll bring seed corn
for you–
for the corn that was pulled
out before it gave birth.
I’ll bring two lambs
for you–
for all the sheep
they killed and laid
at your feet
there on the ground
with your tears.
