Poems from a deer dance cycle
(1st Set) 'The Water Bug'
The Water Bug (I)
The water bug is drawing the shadows of the evening toward him
on the water.
The Water Bug (ii)
The water bug is dipping the end of his long body in the water
& dancing up & down.
The Water Bug (iii)
The water bug keeps dancing now he's on the mountain that he stands on top of.
Gazing out smelling breezes from the western ocean.
The Water Bug (iv)
While the water bug stands there the ocean seems to be drawing nearer.
He sees the fish in the water moving up & down with the tides.
The Water Bug (v)
Water Bug was standing in a dream.
He came to the ocean stood on top of a fish while thinking he was standing on the ground.
When he found it was moving he said 'something here must be alive.'
The Water Bug (vi)
The water bug wanders forever beside the sea.
But he becomes black from standing on that fish & catching its disease.
So he wanders forever on the shore of the ocean.
(2nd Set) 'The Deer'
The Deer (I)
The deer is taking away the daylight.
After taking away the daylight he named it darkness.
The Deer (ii)
The deer is alone in the darkness.
Grazing on a lonely plain.
Near the high mountain.
The Deer (iii)
The deer was a long time in the darkness.
He asked the spider to have a road made for him in the darkness.
Spider made the road & the deer's been traveling it.
