with each word
i write
i am undoing
you from
my heart
i am undoing
your lips
from mine
your hand
from mine
i am undoing
your power
over me
Undoing
language
Other
she is a sad
replacement
for the woman
you lost
the woman
you allowed
to leave
because
you were
never
man enough
to hold
Shine
i had too much
shine
for you not
to want
to take
a piece
it’s a shame
you continue
to take it
once you
are gone
Linger
always wanting
what you want
but what about
what I want?
not your problem
anymore, right?
selfish
you leave
leave and go
then come back
and take
want to stay
friends for you
when it suits
you
leave and have
me too
what kind
of privilege
is that?
Hair and Body
i keep
the hair
on my body
because i want to –
it’s nature
soft
the hurt
will pass
i no longer
hold it close
i let it go
with softness
and patience
and love
The written word
Since the words we use reflect our worldview, controlling language helps control the picture that we see of the world. – Paul Kingsnorth
What we need
What we need is tear leaders, not cheer leaders. We need tear leaders to teach us how to mourn. – Allison Adelle Hedge Coke
