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.

that gave you life

 

came from your Mother.

of those who inhabited this land before.

Earth remembering

the ones who left their offerings,

and loved Nature as their own

flesh and blood…
