We locked up our wisdom into our bonesAnd swallowed the keys
They sank in our rivers of bloodAnd we forgot the maps
Because we had to forget the mysteriesTo keep them safe. We wove our hair into broomsAnd swept over our pathsAnd then burned the earth with our rageWe didn't teach our children It was the only way to protect them,
we thoughtBut in them we planted seeds, seeds and keysAnd told them stories and riddles and songsWith no
roots, just tangled threadsThat would take years to unwindJust enough timeFor the rains to fall againand put out the firesFor the dams to break For the rivers to floodFor the pathsto be walked againFor the soil to breatheAnd as the old bones crumbleDeep beneath the rubbleWe find we've always had the keysOur stories and our
mapsOur paths are revealed to someAnd the seeds grow againThe threads are unspun
And woven again~ Amara Bronwyn Hollow Bones
