We Are Going Back to Gunland / ᎢᏧᎳ ᎱᎷᏣᏎ ᎦᎶᏇ-ᎡᎶᎯ ᏗᏜ

We are going back to Gunland
without a gun,
to the land of prejudice
without prejudice.
We have placed our faith
and our trust
in love,
the only safety
that we know.

My Bed Is a Womb / ᎠᏆ ᎦᏂᏏ ᎨᏒᎠᏎ ᎤᏖᎶ

My bed is a womb,
the sound of the sea a lullaby,
and I a naked babe
born again and again
into the light of day.
