Kin Constellations Ancestors see our fear and raise us Nanaboozho So we can reach back… back And find ourselves Dancing in circles of joy and celebration Picking medicines amid beaded constellations We reach forward… forward And find ourselves again Watch ourselves placing gifts in future generations hands Gifts of ceremony, medicine and wise grounding stones Stardust swirling high on chubby cheekbones Sometimes We’ll hear a whisper or feel like a fool “Get back on the ground, You didn’t hear that sound, No-one is time travelling to you” Oh but niijii, yes you did and yes they are! Your future and past are travelling the same walkabout The sun, moon and stars purse their lips towards you When that journey begins Healing starts breaking trail too Healing tramples down ‘I will never be enough’ Smooths the razor edges of ‘my childhood was rough’ Pushes hope aside and lays truth before your feet The truth is your identity is woven to the stars So honour those you feel you knew before you met You likely held hands as you fell from the web Likely looked in each others eyes as you flew past Bagonagiizhig Kin on the way down and Kin on the rise And you rise And you rise And the giants breathe us in
