Muse Speaks
When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To fear death
is to know loss.
When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish love.
For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like "Suicide is preventable"
Which is no more
or less true
than Trauma is
and is not
therapeutically preventable
within one human lifetime,
one relationship,
one nonviolent communication history,
one encircling Yang/Yin
resilient balance narrative
When trauma lurks
with upper bipolarizing hand,
To know depression
is to fear comprehensive loss.
When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know dipolarity
and co-arise in healthy life
is to predict trust and safety,
and cherish love
and passion's sacramental
deep erotic
exotic mystery impressions.
