explains indigeneity to the indigenous.
This is at the bonfire where he starts to tell a ghost story
not realizing that there are ancestors next to all of us
listening
and to create fear of the woods
is to create fear of sanity
and the boy talks on and on
as we sit silently
waiting
to see if he will listen
to the trees
that speak
when you are wise enough to be still.
