they witnessed her pain
they witnessed the day her husband throw her out naked in the rain.
they witnessed her children's trauma
yet, when investigators came to ask questions
there happened to be no witnesses.

they'll never label us as "the stolen generation" because we are too busy being the generators of depression.

he was like the night sky,
dark and mysterious.
sometimes he'd let me see
his starry night.
what scared me most was
his ability to only show certain aspects of himself.
like the darkness of night, he only ever allowed me to see what he wanted me to see
the rest faded into blackness.

let them
admire the clouds that form shapes above us,
acknowledge the stars that shine reasons why you and I belong together.
let them
welcome the sun's warm approval of us. they must
cherish our moon and respect our sky.
tell them
when miles separate us,
our home becomes that sky
and
we are connected by the moon,
the sun,
clouds
and stars.
darling,
look out your window
you'll find portraits of my face sketched within those clouds
you'll find
our love prints on that moon,
find our chemistry burning the sun.
Baby.
so long as the sky is in existence,
know that you
will never be without me.

it's frightening how quickly
your best blessing
can become
your worst curse.

should my soul decide to
leave this body of mine
please,
stop all hospitals.
prevent paramedics from waltzing in.
kindly tell them
i do not wish to be revived.
don't allow any visitors
just,
call on my Mother.
yes. simply,
call on Her
tell Her not to cry but
hold my father's hand
tell Her to love him again
tell my Mother,
never has Her daughter,
seen a man so strong,
so broken.
tell Her
what she sees now,
looking at this body,
is what i saw,
in my father,
the day she left him.
and every second
of EVERYDAY
after that.
tell Her
she ripped his heart out
of his strong chest.
left a dead man walking,
should she weep with sadness
or tremble with heartache
call on my brothers,
[Our Soldiers and entire army]
tell them to hold Her
whisper how
i carried Her
in my spirit,
kissed Her
with every heartbeat given to me.
tell Her
my tongue would pray for her,
my hands would soak up her tears,
my nails attempted to claw away her pain
tell Her
my heart sang songs of thanks giving to her,
what beautiful songs they'd sing.
should my soul flee from this body,
please,
tell my Mother not to despair,
tell Her,
my spirit became the sky
to watch over Her
in every hour.
tell Her,
the stars are part of me now
all She has to do
is
look up.
