While staring at the distant stars,
We forget the beauty of,
And our necessity,
For the Sun.

I see you in the quietest of moments,
and I hear you in the midst of life's noise.
I've started at my feet with a needle and thread.
Stitching up my body, from toes to head.

It should be winter; but it's not.
I should be happy; I am not.
I should feel calm, but my stomach's in knots.

Sometimes getting what you ask for has a specific price.
Everything.

confused
justify confusion
stumbling through ocean
flopping on to shores
slipping
and slithering on the land
not knowing how to live on the land
torturing to survive
invasive dissociation
***** for healthy young native girls
justify ****
no longer confused
focused genocide
whiteness laughs in its cell
alone in repentance
society is safe
from whiteness for lifetimes

ok cupid
mother earth needs mates
when I am through
the *** is exhausted
eternal sleep
must be nutritious
to my soil
decompose peacefully
so my children grow
plants nourished
I love you
waste
body
sharpening arrows
for the soul of earth
scared sacred
loving compost

the day gave up
didn’t become night
gasoline came from penises
sugar was traded for people
alcohol was traded for ****
native women were *****
for free
ships sailed seas
the new wonder of the world
is how the ****
are any of theses colonists
still living
and telling stories
that do not include
****
their history
no matter how censored
is the history of ****
then they focused on space travel
