47. Inheritance ~



For we were the children
of unschooled Shawnees
Potawatamis
and Miamis
who
had walked
these selfsame plains
with a piety
that still seeped
from the fields
to infect us.

~

Denn wie waren die Kinder
ungebildeter Shawnees,
Potawatamis und Miamis
die über ebendiese Prärien
gegangen waren
mit einer Frömmigkeit,
die immer noch sickerte
aus den Feldern
und uns ansteckte.
