Dakota Afternoon

Kurt Philip Behm

Can our culture live on,

can its message be contained

 

Will an eagle looking down

see the joy or the pain

 

Will our heritage run deep,

like the river that flows

 

To an all-consuming delta,

and the life force who knows

 

(Pine Ridge South Dakota: June, 1993)
