Can't go home no more

Went home.
Weren't ma mountains 
anymore.
The ocean
welcomed visitor,
gifted treasures
I fly to kin.
 
Here/hear teacher.
A shell
that whispered 
time for your hand.

Sand that cried,
"Thank fuck"
for loves 
that can be
more than
"They never hit me."

I tried to hug you.
Learned how.
But your body
only sees threat.
Made a 
Žižek joke.

-Akward-

So much sad
stones
and bones
groaned. 

Saw 10 crows
on dead tree
30 feet high
kin around
felt Matriarchy
patchworks
stitched
in misty waterways
paddles while children slumbered
All your hope!
All your love!

Fabric
of hues
only little ones see.
Backed
to Grandfather's cloth
once stretched 
cross backs
carrying the burdens
they invented the blues for.

Music
rhythm
algorithm
creates
separation
desperate in-hale
afore....
wave returns.

Can't go home no more
But been building new gardens
sharing seeds
celebrating better loves.
