MATRIARCH

2019

They’d call you crazy

A fool to chance me

To find the silver lining

In this madness

To find peace in the chaos

Of the organized mess I keep.

I have to be a good example for my sisters.

Show them what true love is and looks like.

I want to tell them that it exists.

I just felt my mother’s pain

So real so raw

Rare power

And grace in form.

Inheritance of all of our grandmother’s.

She is everything I aspire to.

And I don’t desire the credit either,

I want to be the unseen glue

A hidden rivet

The solid connection

A cupping bezel

The family jewel
