Notes About The Poem

Inspired by Edwidge Danticat's, "The Dew Breaker".

Unsealed Confession

I am violent
speaking over peace.

I help those who love me
weep
as joy grows too remotely possible.

I am always angry without cause
for love.

I lie
when truth feels too vulnerable,
intimate.

I kill inconvenient life
to decompose decadently apathetic death.

I evil in ecological despair
rather than healthy live 
with more curious polycultural faith.
