To Tecumseh

 
You were meant for other places
Tecumseh
                           So, as we slept
you fashioned a thought, rigged
it with a dream as light as morning,
and before we awoke you sailed away,
carried on our breaths into the sun.

 

 

As appeared in Leaning into the Mountain, Fooliar Press, Toronto, 2006.
