Hares

Let the river be their cradle
Oh maternal sea
Waves lulling nursery rhymes
Against the silence of the sky
Fragmented moonbeams
Fractures water still
Submerged stillborn dreams
Drenched in the blue
Silence is where dead hares lie
Follow the babes along the river and stop their cries
Gone are the days where we played in fields
Left to drown in the cold blue
Fractured sun gleams
Folly on whom held the knife
Submerged stillborn screams
Dashed on newly red ice
Gone are the days where we played in fields
Left to drown in the cold blue
Saying goodbye
I see the sun
Over the horizon
Never dream again

Teeth and Bones

Sink into me
Help me breathe
Is this the end of me?
Beetles burrow bone
My teeth their own
Dirt my home
My teeth
Their own
My teeth
Their own
Sink into earth
Eyes gone first
Unquenched thirst
I've become so cold
Body is mould
This is my home
I can't see
I can't feel
Rot takes me
Consuming
Days go by
Days go by
Days go by
Days go by
Days go by
Days go by
Days go by
Days go
Days go by
Days go by
Take my eyes
Take my flesh
Nothing left
Nothing left
Nothing left

Palmate

Buried beneath the trees
Unmarked and unclean
Church bells deafening
Screams for their lives
Priests, nuns
Submerge the unbaptized
Drowning the Indian and not the man
The crime red skin
Wash my hands of sin
Father why can’t you find me?
Mother why can’t you help me?
Stripped of cloth and tongue
By righteous murderers
Anishinaabemowin
Strangled by holy men
Stolen from our home
All raped by cross and crown
Unintended births thrown in the furnace
The smoke billows high
Come meet us in the sky
I want to know where my son has gone
Taken so far away
I want to know where my daughter has gone
Taken so far away
I want to know
I want to know
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
I want to know where my son has gone
Buried unmarked grave
I want to know where my daughter has gone
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave (I want to know)
Buried unmarked grave (I want to know)
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
