A Poem by Pegs Van Damme

The kids are

screamin’


hear me!

feel me!

hear me!


-but they won’t-


so they try

nippin

rippin

at heel’s

of giants

throwin


rocks


to try and turn these heads


feel me!

hear me!

FEEL--


We’re bleedin’

our momma’s crying,

grabbin our backs

rippin at our arms

losing their voices

to get back home

to put this anger away

before our

voices too

are lost

and silenced forever


we’ll always feel

and they’ll never hear
