Speaking Simon Ortiz (1941- ) I take him outside under the trees, have him stand on the ground. We listen to the crickets, cicadas, million years old sound. Ants come by us. I tell them, "This is he, my son. This boy is looking at you. I am speaking for him." The crickets, cicadas, the ants, the millions of years are watching us, hearing us. My son murmurs infant words, speaking, small laughter bubbles from him. Tree leaves tremble. They listen to this boy speaking for me. --
