RIDGE PEOPLE

MY COUNTRY

TREY were my people,

And this country was my country.

Deep ravines

Send strange shadows into the valley.

Rock ridges

Bulwark returning ferns and flowers.

Rock towers

Watch the invading shadows.

Hills mother children.

Hills watch while children sleep.

Fathomed in coulees,

The spirit water-falls

Say all there is to say.
