I pick up her baby rattle and shake it fast
as if
standing in one place and running,
1,2, 1,2, the words follow the
beat.
Yes, this is the Navajo butterfly song...
she looks at me and
stands there shaking her rattle
and finds the words and dances away from
me.
Her mother looks at her and her father knows the words
and sings with
her. Little feet and old songs
fill the place and I laugh to see her dance
away.....
