the ones who Know
the deepest suffering
are the ones
/
who raised me
/
you cannot be
tough if you haven’t been
through trials and toughness
/
yet so soft
are these beings
in the space behind the heart —
/
generous sprawling landscapes
/
the ones who know
how the breathe calmly
in the middle of the blazing fire
/
are the ones who raise us
/
they show
the medicines of the our body
and patience and hard work; relentless love
/
a mirror of potential
a swift kick:
time
/
to tell new stories
/
in each i see
the holy mother
the timeless black hag
/
god the highest
