totem
maple wood smoke
drifts across the pine
and firs curling
into Inuit ghosts
that pace stealthily
from tree to tree
towering totems carved with bird
wolf bear and snakehead
calling to the old gods
that we were here
we lived and died in these
ancient forests
silver river slit...

The Hoodoos
The Hoodoos
Under Sulphur Mountain’s
sedimentary gaze,
the great Bow River
slithers like a serpent,
its milky green waters
spitting and striking
at the soft banks -
a venomous erosion
amid the cascades
foaming tumult.
The mighty Cree
etched totem poles
the size of these great
spruce and fir,
back-lit by the waning
Wolf Moon.
