Mounds Park

We buried our ancestors here,
atop these bluffs
overlooking the river.
The ones who took this land and
made it holy,
we buried them here.
The mounds mold mirror images of
what we will become,
what we will hold sacred.
God doesn’t talk to me here,
but the Mississippi does so
we buried our ancestors here
