"
winter sea
over my shoes
shadows
and bright
round stones
at san gregorioevery wave
turns a season
forests adrift
empty shells
memory of fire
so faraway
in the mountains
and canyonssilent pools
raise my faces
by early tide
slight my hand
shoulders
almost ashorelight breaks
"
over the plovers
certain steps
my traces
blood, bone, stone
turn natural
and heavy waves
rush the sand
Gerald Vizenor, “Almost Ashore”
