There Has Been Something

by Ed Edmo


 
Figure 1
    A set net is stored at Celilo during fishing off-season.

    OHS neg., OrHi bb001692
 

sometimes it is a song
sometimes it is a whisper
sometimes it appears to be an animal
then other times
weeping
I hear it

there has been something
that has disappeared
from my mother earth

I'm not sure what it was
but

sometimes at night
I can hear it in the wind
or

it comes to me
in my dreams
like

the smell of salmon
     cooking
