Heavy Sigh.

Dakota Homecoming

published in The Sun, August 2019 issue

We are so honored that
you are here, they said.

We know that this is
your homeland, they said.

The admission price
is five dollars, they said.

Here is your button
for the event, they said.

It means so much to us that
you are here, they said.

We want to write
an apology letter, they said.

Tell us what to say.
