"Buried Corn under Mokavai Mesa A poem by Mike Strassman   The Indian agency sits like a rusted typewriter in a sunless desert. Beside it a sandstone face, carved by the wind, sun and flintlocks, ignores the brilliance and heat of his father. "My Mother" he mumbles, "no longer has her sun." It's just another worker for Standard Oil. "We are aware of traditions, but just can't do it." Feathers hang on a rearview mirror."
