Roots from Ruins

Poetry in response to prompt: Black Out Integration

Photo by Jason Weingardt on Unsplash

שרשיה its roots מהריסות from ruins

trace them lightly, those fragile things full of masked insecurity potential to be costumed all together broken and glued as some new identity

dig gently, for the land is starved recognizable memory falls off hands, the hairs of history lost name changes and patriarchal tendencies

hold on then, dear child, make more out of your life so that you build on truths

Black out poetry taken from the poem: שפת הוריי or The Language of My Parents by Roy Hasan.
