Your Native Land, Your Life

Clara Gauthier

in a world where pain is meant to be gagged 

The family coil     so twisted, tight and loose

In the Wake of Home  - this poem devastates me

You sleep in a room with bluegreen curtains 

posters      a pile of animals on the bed

you are almost asleep     they crouch in turn

is the passion I connect with in this air 

is the region still trying to speak with them

i love adrienne rich so much when i think about her i want to cry

finally read this whole book because moving back in with my parents was inspiring a crisis and it did help at least a little bit! some really incredible observations of america as a colonial state and as always some incredible imagery.
