we played cowboys and indians
once, imagining
the plume of smoke that rose behind the garden
to be from my brother's homestead -- i was john wayne,
wearing my father's boots, while he
played a barefoot comanche -- i suppose we predicted
the story of that film to come
ten, fifteen years later, even
down to the cries of the women we had to take in
every day, from behind the garden
