Season of Songs<\/p>\n
Darkness has gotten enough from us \u2013
\nfreedom to love, to breathe, and to roam.
\nThe sun rises only to obeisance:<\/p>\n
the world has not seen light in a long while.<\/p>\n
And you are here, alone, saying to darkness:
\nI’m open to welcoming any thing, even death.
\nMother, I won’t give you away.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, violence is the language
\ngrief, no matter the brittleness, understands.
\nMother, permit me to be a rebel.<\/p>\n
Well, I’ve found a peel for sorrow,
\nsongs about a world free from stenches,
\nabout hope, about us dancing in the rain.<\/p>\n
I look at you and see the ugliness of grief.
\nWhatever has jinxed you shall taste death,
\nfor this time is a season of songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
