How am I to reconcile—in the body of a bear, to be an honorable child? I’d say I’d do anything for you, but I don’t know if that’d be true. At the moment that feels right, but in the night I get so tired—and I don’t know what to do, or what to prove. Where were you, when I needed you? Your little boy was I, swimming against the river? My legs were strong, but after long I was cold; my body was blue, but my heart was gold.
Noble Father of the sea,
How should I live, in spite of me? In the body of a shark; wanting to feed, but I’m not hungry. I’d wash Your feet if You were here, your words all bringing us to tears. My mind has memorized Your dance, but my feet won’t follow plans—both belonging to my body. I worry, in spite of everything You’ve told me; I am full of holes, unholy. Your little boy, was I? Swimming against the river, my legs were strong, but after long I was cold. My body was blue, but my heart was gold.
