Yesterday Ghosts

Our pains are our shames. These
gifts from our fathers and inherited from our mothers

wounds we carry within like long cherished bitter soul-children

though the winds may ask us to release them to the East

we carry marks on us as children of the condemned

our bitter soul-children

though the wind unavailingly pleads for our release of these poisonous captives

release them to the East
