| Notes | In this poem, a man is playing music to connect to his homeland in the west. It is implied that he may be a Native American in the final verse of the poem. The speaker of the poem mentions how he can feel the heat of the desert through this music, even though he's in Florida under a storm. The poem underlines a reconnection with one's heritage through music, and if the main character is read as a Native American musician, the poem is clearly one that reflects upon the minoritization and impoverishment of his culture. |
