in the blue light of the morning: rise (2023)

holding their wisdom, holding the struggles of my ancestors
deep within the bodies I form.
weaving the connections between generations together that were nearly severed, but now renewed.
remembering their sacrifices,
honoring their passage to the other side
from where their whispers are heard faintly
in the blue light of the morning:
rise.
