Hysterical

Crevices fragrant
with rot of genetics –
this path is a minefield

Father’s legacy
has scarred any sense
of valour – tried running

But history is tricky,
catches us winded,
regurgitates tragedy

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  6. Interesting… Father’s legacy, the past catching up to you when you least expect it, and always at the most inconvenient moment. I think we all have a distant shame, a tarnished legacy, and it usually has nothing to do with us. Guilt and shame by association. 🥺🤔
