White ... Native ... HomelessA Poem by UC PoikaThe Food Shelf gave me some food and I shared an apple with a homeless lady on the steps of City Hall without realizing it wasn't always like this. Thanks to whoever made it possible.She sits with me and we talk about her love Of fighting men for she loves to fight she says We sit and share of things worth thinking of Her puffy scarred eyes claiming she hates the Rez Her dark mind trying to see the White man's ways My apple from the Food Shelf sure looks good Her fear passing like the cold wintry days The white earth asking if it is and whether we should As a friendship blooming in the depths of hell Her liquored breath begs for so much more But money I do not have as she can tell As we part our ways, warmed and the larger for Having shared a homeless time near City Hall But in our world we just made friends that's all. © 2014 UC Poika |
