NOON ON THE MESA

Day grows long

and bright with sunlight.

The sheep eat their way

to the rain lakes

under the willows.

Little rivers run through the tall grass

and hide away in the rushes.

I see a line of scattered clouds

across the sky.

Sun-Bearer rests

on his way

to the House of Turquoise Woman

in the Western Waters.

It is the middle-time of day.
