about

When I was a baby girl
Born on my ancestral land
I shared a bedroom with my family
Happily
Bathed outdoors in a tin tub
Held mother’s hand through an open-air market
Rode on father’s motorbike
Stood ankle deep along the bay shore
arms outstretched to the sea

When I was a young girl
Living in a foreign land
Mother worked 12-hour days
Father worked 3 jobs
sisters were being teenagers
And I was a little one
Walking myself home
Unlocking my own doors
Cooking eggs on sacred rice

When I was a girl on the verge
My hair smelled of coffee and steamed milk
On naps between the morning shift and morning class
I lived for a summer alone in a house
walked through my fears with no one else
My eyes fixated on the future
I took two weeks to say farewell to my family
And moved myself across a country

When I was a young woman
No place was home
I loved so hard
Lost myself
Sang my magic songs
Had my fun
$25 to my name
Consumed by madness
I quit the game
Rode like the wind to oblivion

When I was a grown woman
I remembered long lost ways
Embodied old truths
Fell back into the arms of my family
My heart in the sea
head in the clouds
feet rooted in the earth
I heard the songs of our kin
Of four legs, of wings, of fins.
I came to understand
What sustains them
Sustains me
And I was finally free
