I wrote a tribute to her, based on four lines from one of
her poems, marked with asterisks.)

* Navajo woman
* who said to me
* near Albuquerque,
* “You must be a poet…”
– ‘I write poems,
– how did you know?’
– “Some people are poems,,,
– walking & talking poems –
– not everyone can see them
– as poems, but I can…”
– ‘Navajo lady, if I’m a poem
– I’d like a title…
– how about///
– “HOW DO YOU SAY THANK YOU,
– IN NAVAJO?’
