Joy Harjo Quotes

This Morning When I Looked Out The Roof Window
before Dawn And A Few Stars Were Still Caught
in The Fragile Weft Of Ebony Night
I Was Overwhelmed. I Sang The Song Louis Taught Me:
a Song To Call The Deer In Creek, When Hunting,
and I Am Certainly Hunting Something As Magic As Deer
in This City Far From The Hammock Of My Mother's Belly.
It Works, Of Course, And Deer Came Into This Room
and Wondered At Finding Themselves
in A House Near Downtown Denver.
Now The Deer And I Are Trying To Figure Out A Song
to Get Them Back, To Get All Of Us Back,
because If It Works I'm Going With Them.
And It's Too Early To Call Louis
and Nearly Too Late To Go Home.
[from Poem, "Song For The Deer And Myself To Return On"]
