Loss

Linda L. Bielowski

do you remember me my friend?
with your wise-woman eyes and your wide-hipped smile
promontory point nose proud as Crazy Horse
a totem from your mother’s bloodline
flowing with fry bread and rock medicine
your hair a natural brillo pad
soaking up the heritage of your father—an African king
fine-hewn hands comforting hungry babies
that suckled your secrets to steal your heart
did you fill your womb and empty your soul?
looking backward over my shoulder, across torn calendar pages, seeking a last vision of you
I weep for the loss of me, the loss of you, the loss of time—a generation lost
becoming pain itself while wondering—do your dreams still rise with the sun?
do you remember me my friend, remember me, remember...
