Excerpt
Wasichus / white people ask, "Are you insane?"
Dog Soldier answers, "No, not crazy - connected to Creator."
At gatherings, he's easy to spot -
the quiet one, at the end of the line,
behind the children, elders, and others,
holding an empty plate, ensuring
that everyone else gets enough to eat.
