Sangre

Today my legs are sore
like I went two
times around the bed -
er,
block -
in the space of an hour
yesterday afternoon...
Easter Sunday.
Something about a
resurrection,
something about blood.
I'm taking ibuprofen  
and you're on the phone
with a cousin from
California
talking about a just-
discovered Navajo great-
grandmother...

That explains a lot,
like
the look in your eyes
when we were on the Rez
last spring -
the thousand-yard stare
as you peered into the
depths
of Canyon de Chelly and,
later,
your amazing equanimity
as they got our order
all wrong
at the McDonald's
in Chinle.
