Poems: Young Canada

Aboriginals

 

Something strange in the eyes
the eyes dark in the streets
Something shaking my heart

in the stone fabric
in the pith of wood
chopped clear

gaunt shadows in the sea

wind moves graves in the trees
visions through swirling mist
are forms of tyrannous cliffs

the fish flash in the streams

over the dark and green wilds
the way of birds
and the nerveless sea.
