This next poem
goes out to my mom

00:00:02.800 --> 00:00:05.760 align:middle line:84%
and to all the
mothers out there.

00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:08.000 align:middle line:90%
Matrilineal Winter.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.040 align:middle line:84%
Traditionally at
Laguna, the house

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:12.200 align:middle line:90%
is given to the oldest daughter

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:16.079 align:middle line:84%
At Acoma, the house is given
to the youngest daughter

00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.160 align:middle line:84%
The house belonged
to Grandma Marie,

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.880 align:middle line:84%
given to her oldest
daughter, Jane

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:26.800 align:middle line:84%
Soon, Jane gave sister
Clara the family home

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.560 align:middle line:84%
Three sisters in their winter
share their mother's house

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:37.200 align:middle line:84%
They are Orion's Belt
wintry sister stars

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.120 align:middle line:90%
Three stars softly fading

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:43.280 align:middle line:90%
Reminisce festal shadows

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.580 align:middle line:90%
Mom's chili stew cooking

00:00:45.580 --> 00:00:48.640 align:middle line:90%
7-Up in the Frigidaire

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.520 align:middle line:84%
Three sisters embrace home,
but not like they used to

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.840 align:middle line:84%
Keep moving around,
more aches flare

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.480 align:middle line:84%
What do we do with
your house, Mom?

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:04.599 align:middle line:84%
We feel bad that
you're getting old

00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.240 align:middle line:90%
We'll help you when we can

00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:11.320 align:middle line:90%
We missed-- we miss the old you

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:15.520 align:middle line:84%
Serious oldest daughter,
humorous middle girl,

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:17.640 align:middle line:90%
cheerful youngest baby

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.600 align:middle line:90%
Wintry sister stars.

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:22.560 align:middle line:90%


00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:23.060 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.
