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.

Raspberry
Don’t believe the hype.
The real holy blood
that gave you life
came from your Mother.

Yellow Prairie Flower
Familiar songs weaving their way
throughout our lineage -
reminding, healing, and holding
us together.
Sweetgrass
Between every blade of Sweetgrass
there is the whisper
of those who inhabited this land before.
Earth remembering
the ones who left their offerings,
and loved Nature as their own
flesh and blood…
