36 Views of San Francisco: 36+6. angry wounds
July 12, 2018
angry wound sprouts
skin breaks down
shouts
for attention
old wineskin injured
heart-wine-blood flows in.
immigrant, migrant, undocumented,
yet unknown,
vital
old body in transition
old body needs transfusion
old body shouts
“you’ll never change me!”
her wounds don’t remember
new blood always made her free
anemic, unsteady, completely off her feet
confused and delirious,
pulling at iv’s.
psychotic, paranoid
fearful of death
her old ways are dying
new life unborn yet
carers stand steady
salve wounds with remedies
her wound plays power games
but power caused all injuries
the doctor knows healing
comes from deep memory
hold the patient still
remind her of her healing body
remind her of her goodness
remind her of camaraderie
remind her of our goodness
remind her of bravery
deep unconscious forces
her deep human dream
sends healing blessings
into her mindstream
live
live
America
must live
live
live
Earth
must live
our mother
must
live
our mother
must
live
Mother America
Mother Earth
must live
this world
the birth of beings
must live
don’t
reject
your children,
Sweet Mother,
we
are
here
for
you
always
