I heard my mother singing along with the radio, and I was drawn to her road in the world. She was a Creek Indian woman, and her singing attracted me to her life. She had what seemed to be a perpetual longing in her heart.

#2

The song that my mother was singing when I saw her walking the floor at midnight was a heartbreak ballad. I saw her walk the floor after hearing her song, and I knew that her love would not keep him out of the arms of other women.

I was born into a family of tribal leaders. My father didn’t know what he wanted, so he asked my mother to have a baby. She wanted a son, but my father preferred a daughter.

I watched as my mother and father met at a dance hall, and my mother was fire, while my father was earthbound. Their dance was an ancient one, one that most of us who take on breath know. It is fate setting the story into place.
