Dreamcatchers Along a Navajo Road
“…the war…often seems to have happened to someone else.”
-C. S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy
A pickup truck beside a Navajo road
Tables of souvenirs, a Thermos of coffee
Clotheslines of dreamcatchers catching the sun
For now; the dreams must wait for sleepless hours
“You were in Viet-Nam,” the old man said
To another old man. No mystery;
He simply took a chance to make a sale
And did, for both had known the Vam Co Tay
Old men along the road, catchers of dreams
Who burned their chances in the long ago
