The July, 1994

My Salish synapses firing the old Salish sounds as I try to
Talk perfect English to the Dame of Arlee Pow-Wow
I'm not doing good so I talk faster and faster
Trying to get a solid accent of some kind down
Not doing so good. My grandfathers spoke wonderful word
In fire, in sky, in wind, in rain,
In the heart of the chase.
