FOUND POEM

Photo by S. Auberle

The Hopi call the moon of May Waiting Moon

Mohawk the Moon of Big Leaf

Potawatomi say Moon of the Strawberry

Osage the Moon When Little Flowers Die

The Apache call it Moon When the Leaves are Green

Anishnaabe the Blossom Moon

The Moon When Ponies Shed Their Shaggy Hair

say the Northern Arapaho,

but I simply call her

Luna, Queen of the Night
