Indian Perfume

A swamp rose out the darkness  

Coton jaune from the loom

Sillage on my homespun  

Of Indian perfume 

The marsh was wide at midnight 

A braid of long black hair

The feather of a water bird 

 The sacred vinéraire 

I gathered my best medicine: 

Dew of the swamp rose bloom 

The highway cut straight through the marsh 

Love is like a wound 

I gave my best medicine 

Under the flower moon 

A bouquet of everlasting 

He called Indian perfume
