"In Ukrainian communities, the homes"
"Farm buildings and churches"
"Are now modern, well-built structures"

A young coyote yelped herself awake from a dream
But it wasn't a coyote because they never dream
Nor do they ever sleep
It was some opîtatowew
Planting a sod house somewhere on Treaty 4
In a town that pleaded to know
The eldest held the geolocational question
Scribbled on a cigarette card
Knuckle bones scarred
Cutting grass into shards for a house
Bruises on the back of both of my hands
Marching bands from Ukraine to Indigenous lands
From Ukraine to Indigenous lands

Well, when they arrived the wind stopped their wondering
And while they had hoped to enjoy their bread and salt in peace
Instead they fed hordes of mosquitos with their bodies
The sod house and the stable
An obstruction viable through no legal purchase nor lease
Entered quarrels with mounted police
"I'll teach you how to eat raw horse meat"
"I'll teach you how to eat raw horse meat"
"I have pins and needles"
"Flints and pipes"
"Trust my wares"
"Like the coyote who howls at night"
"Who howls at night"
"Who howls at night"
"Oh like the coyote"
"Who howls at night"
"Oh like the coyote"
"Who howls at night"
"Who howls at night"

Fending off misfortune
And drinking liquor from the still
A storm cloud hovered the valley
And rain drops melt in the hills
They counted the kills
Counted the crops
Counted the neighbours
Then hid in the willows til later
Til a stream of smoke billowed from a freighter
Driving a grader
Riding a stallion
And rallying
Fight or fail
Dodging hail
Hating jail
And collapsing while the Kobzar wails
While the Kobzar wails

"You tethered to me to a cannon"
"A canon"
"And gave me nothing to drink"
"Nothing!"
"No audience to abandon"
"No audience"
"Sing for inanimate things"
"Sing!"
"Ran rivers with blood"
"Blood"
"Broke knives with thieves"
"Broke knives and teeth"
"No audience to come after"
"No audience!"
"Sing for inanimate things"
"Sing for inanimate things"
"Sing it!"
