Heather Poem by colleen brennan
Heather
Raspy voice broken chords
Instantly makes us laugh
Two women
12 year old girls
Connected through
Sexually abused pasts
Flayed skin off a pig
Years of alcoholic
tornadoes
sleeping walking through
life
Had awakened
in 10 minutes
another laugh, and hopeful sigh
Confidence won over
By One who has traveled through
Before
Now she holds the DOOR
The scared, empty, one last bit of faith….
Walks in that which TRUSTS
A WALK ALL THE WAY
THROUGH
It is a remarkable thing
To see the trauma off my back
Be that which
Carries the most power
To help another
Out of her dark past
Two women who have experienced their lives be destroyed though alcoholism, sexual, and physical abuse
Strangers on the other end at first
Lifelines on the other end concluding the phone conversation.
To be continued...
