this is the deer house, this is the medicine road, by Paul Manski

this is the deer house


"...water is moving along the blue river,

in the deer house,
in the sierra ancha,
in the sierra blanca up near paddy creek,
you can feel the water with the St. John's wort and the horse tail,
coming down the creek,
nourishing the sycamore and cottonwood,
you can smell the narrow leaf cottonwood blooming in the springtime,
up at the deer house, big deer house,
where deer make their strong medicine,
with pine, fir and the walnut trees,
this is our sky island home,
along the sierra ancha,
where the water is constantly flowing,
and the mountains are continuously walking,

this is the deer house,
this is the medicine road..."
