If Only Tears Could Heal
IF ONLY TEARS COULD HEAL
I must connect with those
whose fathers disconnected
mine from me.
I must connect with those
who also cry
wailing tears draining their souls;
because their fathers killed
and raped my mothers
who nursed them.
I must connect to these tears of old wounds
painfully festering the souls that mourn
and bleed with the excruciating agony
inherited from their fathers’ fathers:
If only tears could heal.
