To my father.

I'll remember you like most do their fathers. Absent and then not at all.

I wish I had memories of you (memories, other than violence) But you never made them.

I gazed into the ocean deep, blue unrelentig seawater

the tide tugging, tugging and I coming, coming

And said: ok I will let you swallow me whole

and then I remember: nothing.

Until the ebb uncovered my body again pale, lush all stained by you.

An Apology

Mother, a few years back I killed the daughter I was (& bore myself again) now I wonder, will you take me back? Now, I am proud to call myself your daughter. Daughter of a woman suffering, of loss, of violence. Daughter of a woman loving, hoping, despite not knowing how. Daughter of a woman giving me the life she did not have. Daughter of a woman Daughter of a woman Daughter of a woman and no man.
