The Wall: A Poem About Inheritance, Trauma, and Parenthood
Don’t worry my sons,
you won’t be like me.In the DBT class
every tuesday night with
other healing pincushions
relearning how to think and feel
each basic reality, after life,
the tornado, mangled you
in its timeless wake.Or sitting on the High Bridge
jealous of city lights
neon and edged along skyscraper spines,
alive and bright
making me ponder how long
that suicidal fall might take till the mud
of the Mississippi lets me finally, truly, rest.The history of trauma,
pain, suffering, so focused it narrows
to a beam of pure shadow
slicing, cutting your heart.
Abuse is a mad, blind surgeon
stitching its legacy in
depression, anxiety, and PTSD.It dissected me.
My broken parents tried
in their masonry, but legions of cracks
wormed through their cement.
A malformed barrier hoping
it would make me happy,
but I was forever diluted, always thirsty.Do not worry my sons
I will be the wall
the blood-born mortar.
It is hard, lonely, a monster bending my shoulders
the weight’s a black hole,
a string of dead stars, further, heavier
a million metaphors deep.Still, now, it’ll end here
