there is a place
with fields of northern wheat
needle-and-thread
& mixed-grass prairie
full of saskatoon berries
sage-smoke & yarrow
wild columbine & aster
where the trees grow crooked
by swift-flowing rivers
& grassy hills where buffalo used to jump
where grandpa & dad live
with skin like desert sunsets
& humour as dark as their morning coffee
nîkihk (my home)
a place
where many bridges connect the land
the land of the living skies

ROOM 47.2 Seedpod
“Maple keys are built by nature like helicopter blades, which allows them to propel as far as possible from the mother maple… In these pages, we see the brave, touching, true ways we, too, must embrace the fear and the excitement that comes with leaving where we are rooted.”
