Heart
by John Smelcer
Heart is like a mirror—
bury it in mud
let it rust and grow with moss
and no more will it reflect the world’s beauty.
Ciz’aani
Ciz’aani ke’ uyii na’stnal’aeni—
kiighiłtaen tah bestl’es
k’ena na’stnal’aeni tsaan’ ‘eł kołii kae dlaadon’
‘eł na’stnal’aeni galdiine’ niic nen’ kasuundze’.
