I'm sorry, I don't know which poem you're referring to. Silko uses poems to frame the narrative and to embrace the Native American art of storytelling. Native American storytelling is an oral tradition, prose assists the listener in remembering the story. The Native American syle of storytelling was a cross between rhythmical speaking and singing.
