All I've Got Left Is Time Travel No. 2

[Miley]

Words come too late
long after the wind has stilled
the broken laminations whose laminations? I read this as lamentations the first time....
spangled sunlight. star spangled banner reference?
Words come too late
the dogs are barking The juxtaposition of "words" and barking dogs here is funny, 
the feathered shafts come quickly
stone points embedded in the hillside.

Buffalo scatter
surrounded by their oceanic prairie
where the Sun God rests his hands
worn rough from making mountains. Beautiful!

Drums sound the celebration
of hunt and conquest Conquest? Very american
of carcasses motionless
and the shouts and songs of the hunters.

THanks for sharing this one, a few lines of the lines will certainly stick with me. I'm not a fan of the title, feels too clever/puny for what is a serious poem? Maybe it balances it out... Something about the scarcity of buffalo now, and the hunting of them in the past... words come too late? I'm not sure im getting it, but I assume its Native Americans hunting Buffalo, and both the natives and buffalo are possible subjects of, "too late"

I agree with semi-cirlce you could probably afford to cut at least one of the "The" s
