December 1st
When Northwest
Indigenous Peoples
travel the waters
they ask permission
to come ashore
onto someone
else’s territory
He had been ready
since eternity
Dancing in the darkness
within,
Like an otter flies in
his home environment
he kicked his way to
freedom
The first waters we’ve ever known.
