Head Of The Lake
Leanne Betasamosake Simpson
GENRE
In a basement full of plastic flowers
Pierogis, cabbage rolls
At the head of the lake, thinking under accusation
At the mouth of the catastrophic river
Disappearing our kids
At the foot of the nest
Beside trailer hitches, coffee, spoons
We made a circle
And it helped
The smoke did the things we couldn’t
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand
Without touching it
We’re in the thinking part of the lake
Faith under accusation
At the mouth of the river
And the spectre of free
At the foot of Animikig
Beside bones of stone and red silver
In a basement full of increasing entropy
Moose ribs, wild rice
(We made a circle)
We made a circle (We made a circle)
And it helped (And it helped)
The smoke did the things we couldn’t (The smoke did the things we could not)
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it (I hold your hand without touching it)
(Without touching it)
(Without touching it)
At the foot of Animikig
Beside bones of stone and red silver
In a basement full of increasing entropy
Moose ribs, wild rice
In realization
We don’t exist without each other
She says: there’s nothing about you
I’m not willing to know
We made a circle (We made a circle)
And it helped (And it helped)
The smoke did the things we couldn’t (The smoke did the things we could not)
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it (I hold your hand without touching it)
We made a circle (We made a circle)
And it helped (And it helped)
The smoke did the things we couldn’t (The smoke did the things we could not)
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it (I hold your hand without touching it)
We made a circle
And it helped
The smoke did the things we couldn’t
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it
Pierogis, cabbage rolls
At the head of the lake, thinking under accusation
At the mouth of the catastrophic river
Disappearing our kids
At the foot of the nest
Beside trailer hitches, coffee, spoons
We made a circle
And it helped
The smoke did the things we couldn’t
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand
Without touching it
We’re in the thinking part of the lake
Faith under accusation
At the mouth of the river
And the spectre of free
At the foot of Animikig
Beside bones of stone and red silver
In a basement full of increasing entropy
Moose ribs, wild rice
(We made a circle)
We made a circle (We made a circle)
And it helped (And it helped)
The smoke did the things we couldn’t (The smoke did the things we could not)
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it (I hold your hand without touching it)
(Without touching it)
(Without touching it)
At the foot of Animikig
Beside bones of stone and red silver
In a basement full of increasing entropy
Moose ribs, wild rice
In realization
We don’t exist without each other
She says: there’s nothing about you
I’m not willing to know
We made a circle (We made a circle)
And it helped (And it helped)
The smoke did the things we couldn’t (The smoke did the things we could not)
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it (I hold your hand without touching it)
We made a circle (We made a circle)
And it helped (And it helped)
The smoke did the things we couldn’t (The smoke did the things we could not)
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it (I hold your hand without touching it)
We made a circle
And it helped
The smoke did the things we couldn’t
Singing broke open hearts
I hold your hand without touching it
