Do you hear people sing

Like canaries in a cold mine

Used to say they persecute christian for being

But now they’re killing those who are Christ like

A fair skinned man, with dirty feet

A slow walk from a grave

Do you hear the people sing

Over the pharisees hate

A dark skinned man, not with a sword

But a thing of killing in his hands

Loved nothing more than the sick and poor

Not a king, not a ruler of his plans

Do you hear the people sing,

Over a man made famine empty hands

We have the wealth to heal the sick

But we sing as they gas our lands

Ship of Theseus

All skin and salt water

Half apology, half daughter

Glass child with a golden rim

How do you love?

Where do I begin? Again?

Myth I made of, me

Theseus gnawing at my center

What parts of me? A compromise,

something solid, to tether

#poetry #poem #original poem #parent trauma #greek tumblr #ship of theseus

Big hearts, bound to bleed

With love come the way they leave

Half daughter and half plea

Is the half harmful that’s half me

We pulled the plug. Together; ended her life, way we started ours.

Held me in my mother’s womb, hold me in my mother’s tomb.

I show up late

- in Complimentary pain

My faults counterpart, I’ll give you an out as to not out me

Sit with you in a waiting room

That smells like the last few moments of mom’s life

The nurses are warm but I feel ice in my veins when they take you

Sobbing the whole way home

It persists

Grief feels an awful like rotten love

You persist

you persist

You persist

The next morning we sit and laugh

I say I’ll do anything but whip your ass

I persist

I will persist

It’s All Fire

Somewhere buried

Beneath the willow trees

Time still passes, as the grass

Grown over me

I travelled so far to see ya

Still tangled up, in the trees

- Every inch

- Embossed into my memories

Matry boy,

Rebel girl

Each other(s fate) their undoing

In the woods,

Echos haunting

Faithlessly pursuing

Engulfing me

Into the breeze

Can’t stop all the fires brewing

Don’t let that sun

Shine without me

Time ain’t no healer, baby

I will undo what it did not

May I be made gentle,

But never molten soft

The poster perfect victor

- Against the very nature I forgot

Geneocide

Organ farms

Nuclear war lurks

But still I wake up to the birds and the sun. I peel myself back upright. I go to my little sister’s shows, my nephew learns to read, and my cat falls asleep holding me.

I can’t quite decide if this is escape

or protest to the powers

that be.

I’m afraid I already know the answer.

I repeat to myself “be sweet, be sweet, it’s a way to fight back”

When my Mother was still Alive

I don’t want to slip into the skin of another,

I want to be in the body I last knew-

Where I lay aglow

my bedroom carpet peaking through my fingers

Drenched in light, pouring in through the open blinds

My mothers voice, soft, the next room

#original poem #dealing with grief #grief #grieving

Home in the South

Blueberries straight off the vine

Teaching little hands to be more kind

The sun stretching through the trees

Dawn or dusk, with the least of these

Necromancy

Maybe as a corpse we’d get the rights of a man- and die with dignity, divinity

A body dead for three days, is an organ graveyard- a wasted resource- her own prison

Turned incubation farm-

Necromancy without the humanity
