spacersong of the deer


Here I come forth.
On the earth I fell over:
The snapping bow made me dizzy.

Here I come forth.
On the mountain I slipped:
The humming arrow made me dizzy.


(Papago)


translated from Papago by Ruth Underhill
retold inIn the Trail of the Wind: American Indian Poems and Ritual Orations, John Bierhorst (editor), New York: 1971
