You have the mane
Of the sea lion
All silken
Your arm is a Californian
Bay:
Blue acacias
A little cactus
Cocoanut trees
With parrots
That cry
As-tral, As-tral!
The antelopes browse
In your eyes
But in the ravine
Of your mouth the wolf watches.—
When you sing
We hear the lowing
Of buffalo at Pine Ridge
And we see the rocks of Colorado
With bellflowers of blue,
Deer speckled with stars
Follow your lone canoe
Across the worlds.
