from A Really Good Brown Girl

The White Judges

Helen Betty Osborne

Blue Ribbon Children

Leather and Naughahyde

Letter to Sir John A. Macdonald

The Devil's Language

Circle the Wagons

not just a platform for my dance

a bowl of smooth brown wood

from green girl dreams Mountains

scorching

I give you arbutus

kindling

Straw Boss

lucky stars

house, broken

will I, night

ghosted

throatsong to the four-leggeds

from that tongued belonging

that tongued belonging

this, is for the wives

if we are pictured too easily

the breed women

Camp Cook

she is many branches

we are where we live

the southern most somewhere

Uncollected Poems

Water and Trees

Brown names

Chalk dust past

One Pound One, Big Mountain, Iron Shirt

from The Pemmican Eaters

Otipemisiwak

I wanted to treat them as we would have treated buffalo

these are wintering words

Not a single blade

Fiddle bids us

with second sight, she pushes

the land she came from

you are riding for the border tonight

Louis' last vision
