Mimosa
From underneath the suffocating burden
and salty tears
of
rape, molestation,
addictions, depression,
suicide, incarceration,
domestic abuse,
abandonment, neglect,
and even black magic;
Her lips parted
and began to sing
an ancient and powerful medicine song.
The benevolent qualities of her Ancestors
guided her as she sang
to the many threads
of her broken tapestry - all tangled and torn -
until they were straight and whole
once again.

Molle
The apology and promises of reconciliation just weren´t enough
neither the peppermint mocha or assortment of numbing agents,
they couldn´t erase
or cover up
how broken she was.
Pieces forgotten and long lost
among st the rubble and emotional wreckage
of the generations
