Death of the American Indian's God (Gregory Corso)
Death of the American Indian's God
The Mandan village is covered with snow
The blanketed chiefs on parfleches blow
Women in tufts of weasel press tapioca
And the lacrosse game is almost over —
Fling wompsikkucks at the Evening Star
The Mighty One Tirawa Atius is lain
on the bright travois
He in His own raced hills and valleys
wore skins birds and calumets
He in His own the laughing Koyemshi
dogclowned all our sunsets
Give proper ceremony O Pawnee
The last caribou has been arrowed
the last trout speared
Beetle bells and medicine yells
Everyone is dressed in crow
They where the redmen
feathers-in-their-head men
now
down among the dead men
how
