Celebrate Lesbian Poetry! Paula Gunn Allen's "Some Like Indians Endure"

Continuing this National Poetry Month's celebration, here's a really powerful one:

dykes remind me of indians
like indians dykes
are supposed to die out
or forget
or drink all the time
or shatter
go away
to nowhere
to remember what will happen
if they dont

they dont
anyway
even though it
happens
and they remember
they dont

because the moon remembers
because so does the sun
because so do the stars
remember
and the persistent stubborn
grass
of the earth


from "Some Like Indians Endure,"
Paula Gunn Allen (Laguna/Sioux)

I found this poem on pg. 49 of the amazing "Another Mother Tongue: Gay Words, Gay Worlds" by Judy Grahn
