tear up while
hearing
and reading their
stories:
beaten and stabbed
victims of
murder–suicide
dismemberment
dead of hypothermia
abandoned outside
a recycling depot
their bodies tossed
in ditches lakes
and rivers
in apartment and
hotel rooms
pushed from
balconies
stuffed into a
garbage bag
or missing—never
found
∞
symbolising these
murdered
and missing
indigenous women
red dresses hang
everywhere
on campus—on walls
and fences
from trees and
courtyard railings
outside member of
parliament
office join a silent
vigil
