often
the big picture
gets in the way
of seeing and feeling
the small things
like differentiating the wild flowers
from aggressive weeds
so what seemed
like an arrowhead
washed from the clay
and brought out from burial
by torrential rains
appeared as just another
blend of rock
certain to be overlooked
by urban folk tales
in fact
most everything about
the lives of the original inhabitants
had been maligned
desecrated
expunged
on the way to conquest
yet it is in this realm
in this small historic component
a drum will lead and be heard
and great truths will surface
