Hymn Singer - Poem

Literary Review,  Summer, 2000  by John E. Smelcer

   At grandmother's funeral
   I watch my Indian father
   mouth words to "Amazing Grace"
   Ts'in aen ne'k'eltaeni
   Ts'in aen ne'k'eltaeni
   and I am a stranger
   dressed in something black.

John E. Smelcer's recent poetry books include Songs from an Outcast, The Snow Has No Voice, and Changing Seasons
