Thank you for introducing me to the Tanka people

 before
red haired tassels b…d her Asian child’s European face
have you glimpsed her shame cascade
Rrroarsshhhhh…Rrroarsshhhhh…
the Tanka maiden crooning freedom 
soaring shyness braving darkness 
swallowing gales since two thousand years before
red haired tassels brushed her fore
The Time Her Big Black Braid Comes Loose
