Half-Breed Highly Influential

cherokee cheekbones
highly influential, they saw
me coming out of the sky, what
I was bringing was fire so hot the jupiter
arrow took leave of the kill and let me connect
my death wish on the point of a vindicating meteor,
prophecy of the archer

pleiades christian
priestesses adorned
my horse with silver stars
on saddle and bridle, they gave
me a bible for the war, I put it under
my elk bone breastplate over my heart,
god knew I would one day ride for the Powder
River Hymnals

half-breed
sent to quell
greed, while here
I wrote by the blood
of the quill, it spilled for
eternity, then one day as
fate would have it, my women
became wise, a white buffalo calf
was born, my cherokee cheekbones,
highly influential toked a pipe, I learned
from indigo bible women forgiveness saves
a race, for bigotry knows not this, it's not the color
or gender of the horse, or the pairing, it's the ride of
integrity into the afterlife for which we are blessed
