In Memory of Wounded Knee

Ice Sculptures
_____________
Red foot prints
in Dakota snow
drippin' blood tints
in a back bullet show
frozen in time
ice sculptures
not on display
a few photo stills
of stiffness
the massacre of death
chills
takes breath away
not the cold
but Red foot prints
in Dakota snow
and the child
holding ever so tightly
crying
watching their Mother
dying
decorated
by a blue coat bullet
and a ribbon
of red blood
murder
the Massacre of Wounded Knee
to this day
there are still
foot prints
in Dakota snow
but with red tape
to quiet the season
not heard of
the past, present, and future
covered in a blanket
of white man's
wrapping paper
and the label reads....
forget about them !
