WEXES: A Song of Simplicity, by Kevin Paul, W̱SÁNEĆ 

Here in W̱SÁNEĆ, days were measured in light.

The sun rose and it was time to wake and get busy.

The sun set and it was time to rest.

When days grew short, it was time to turn inward.

When the days grew longer and the frogs began to sing again,

it was time return from the winter’s introspection

and go back out into the crisp, bright world.
