Leave me be
What truths remain
To play
On pages?
I have filled every space
Margins
...
Poems
Stretch across
Once untouched domains
The ink runs low,
But there is so much to say
My voice wants to practice
Once a small
Shattered thing
When did you grow so large?
How did we travel
From rooftop*
To Elders
To bears
To all?
How do we become?
Half In-di-an
Half white
Half devil
Métis
An abomination?
Much depends
On the math you prefer
That of men
Or
That of soil.
