we grow brave
in the absence
of any safe touch,
in our father‘s rage.
we have nothing,
everything is in us
our love of these
impossible bodies
our faith in this
unbroken sky
our trust of the
infinite universe
our souls to burn
as an offering
to any being
who will listen.

Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm was reading at the U of Alberta today. She said she was wearing a red shirt to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women. The red ribbon on her arm was from yesterday‘s march for justice for Colten Boushie. #Anishinaabe #IndigenousAuthor
