"Nomadic tribes in the Great Plains region either buried their dead, if the ground was soft, or left them on tree platforms or on scaffolds..."bottomdweller wrote:Thanks for explaining what this poem was about. I didn't get the whole Bush connection from the poem - and I've even seen a movie about this. Poetry pretty much goes over my head, but now I understand it.
