to my mother, Mary Adalyn Young-Douglas,
beautifully lucid and kind
what they did and why
my people passsing by
one side of the family
how can I reply
heart shatters, each one in its way
and so does mine
had Christ not taken my heart in His own hands
and mended it.
still I send my heart out to the open sky
wishing it could be otherwise
and that some things had not been.
yet they were
I cannot pretend otherwise
love doesnt change
we just have to rearrange
the narrative in our heads
all will be well I said to you
all manner of things
or would have said to you
in my next letter...
