SPIRIT LAKE THE MISSING

Ancestors hold me now
silence greets this howl
my skin  blessed within
elders uncles auntie too
 cry my death song 
for I’m gone

harmless smile the knives hid between 
warrior rode but could  not get seen. 

now auntie uncle too
sing the song taught to you
i sit now amongst buffalo 
mountains greet my sad soul

my land lays beneath a killers feet
bones that melt in sun and ice 
stay close my sisters
red hand on face
stay close my brothers
walk the warriors race
