A Unfinished Song Of Freedem Poem by Minnie Gehrig

I forgive myself the blade of knife..
I forgive the pen...
I forgive myself..
the loss of black on white..


I give myself moonlight..
Avalon..
freedom...
n this op has a price....
heavy n hot like the gallows..
n yet serene...
weighed by oppression.. n still I swim..

chin high eyes low...
give your death meaning..
chant slow...

build into the fire.. the waters glow..

I am a spiral here I flow..
there I go..
complete..
things I could not know...

except life beating slow..

against myself....

against, your love,,,,

n knowledge we may never show..

bleed again between mothers thighs secured with keys again we rise........
