Rez Boys in Winter

We were the brothers with only two pairs of shoes. Last year's basketball sneakers were this year's snow boots. We wore jean jackets for winter coats. We walked recklessly across ice and frozen mud. We punched our legs to warm the blood. Our bare hands were our only pair of gloves.
I've loved your work for over twenty years. I used much of your work in my twenty plus years as a public high school teachr, especially one of your one page masterpieces - Scalpdance in both my creative writing , American lit And Brit lit ( using it with 1984). If you send me your email I will send you a copy of my first book o fpoetry. I'm78.
Gorgeous imagery
