Some of
Our Kin
by Carmen Lockhart
Salmon,
Confident and wise,
How shall you inspire us?
Frog,
Ever calm and amused
What wisdom shall you bestow?
Eagle,
Courageous as thou art proud,
A leader, are you not?
Bear,
A healer, courageous, and strong,
A protector and guardian of us all?
Badger,
Wise beyond thy years,
What stories have you to tell?
Wolf,
As loyal as thy are strong,
Why do you call to the moon?
Fox,
Cunning, witty, and sly,
Will you dazzle us with your abilities?
Raven,
Playful and curious are thee trickster,
Why do you make trouble?
Whiskey Jack,
Troublemaker, shape-shifter, and trickster,
How will you humour us next?
Coyote,
You trickster you,
Why do you watch over us?

Merely two-legged are we,
Stumbling and making mistake after mistake,
What is our purpose?
