six years ago yesterday
my world exploded
and is only now
starting to reassemble
a few of the parts are missing
some in wrong places
but at least i can now put
supper on the stove
without doubling over in pain
and wanting to die
but would never do that to my family

and for those who refused to understand
be gentle
be kind
their life in the next world
will be cursed
but for those who held me
and were not ashamed of my anger
my rage
my tears
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
