Are we not drinking here
The shaman's drink,
The magician's drink !
We mix it with our drunken tears and drink.
In that mist for you the blue liquor
I dipped and poured,
I, having drunk, gave to you,
I drew you forward and set you in the circle.
You brought within and were gloriously drunk,
Then I was not ungenerous with beautiful speech
And with beautiful singing.
Thus, vying together, we made an end.
Inspired by a portion of the Papago ritual of the tiswin...
