She
bleeds from her past
bleeds for her future
trying to ease the agony
her veins let her life spill forth
into the soil for her unborn seeds
already feeding them her spirit
hoping they will understand
Carrying
the sorrow of centuries long over
she lets the blood flow into the water
washing the sadness of her ancestors away
hoping her salt won't infect
but already knowing it will be alright
She
raises her dripping hands to the sky
pleading for her blood
praying each drop will pool together
after so many generations of
hemorrhaging and
leeching
Wanting
to give her people a transfusion
she drains herself into the earth
cups her blood in her hands
and hurls it into the ether
willing it
trying to heal the neglect
wash away the despair
purge the indifference
