At the Bismarck ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in the summer of 2005,

Fort Yates, North Dakota, part of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

america invert yourself,
you’ve got yourself a raw nerve
some kind of aching tooth
in this world there are no mothers and fathers
no one has come before you

be only brave, wear a feather in your hair
for those who came before you
for those that you never knew
when you were desperate
they said you had it in you. and you knew
