One of the old ones stood up
into the morning light
and spoke to those who had come
back to the river.

—Now we have come again to this place.
My life apart from you
is not as strong.
Yes,
I have danced and
I have told the stories
at my own fire and
I have sung well, to all eight directions.

But when I am with you,
my friends,
I know better
who it is in me
that sings.
