Re-Vision
by Ushanda io Elima


written to my parents,
but for the children
within & without

this child you’ve borne
you do not know her
this child you’ve borne

neither see nor hear her
this child you’ve borne
so old, so new

this child you’ve borne
wonders she could show you
this child you’ve borne

does not write or speak
this child you’ve borne
bears wisdom others seek

this child you’ve borne
cannot walk afar
this child you’ve borne

feels the farthest star
this child you’ve borne
if you’d hear her sing

this child you’ve borne
such joy she’d bring
this child you’ve borne

as you’ve proudly trained her
this child you’ve borne
you have blindly slain her

this child you’ve borne
for a time made her too
this child you’ve borne

as blind as you to
this child you’ve borne
yet determined to free

this child you’ve borne
once again she can see
this child you’ve borne
