Indigenous Resistance

Say Al--is that you?

Someone's sprinklin' water & rose petals
on the baby buddha's birthday
& another millennium has passed
Say Al--is that you?

I met David Groulx last year at the International Festival of the Authors in Toronto.  We chatted about poetry and writing programs and politics.  Two days later I heard Groulx read and I was floored. 

Life Journey

I started writing poems as a sense of release but mostly keep them to myself,  just a few phrases while in class and words from music I would scribble in my notebooks.   When I had heard that other students here at Eastern Washington University would do spoken word on campus that is how it started for me to open up with what I had from my thoughts and notebooks.
