I composed this poem after a chance electronic "chat" with a friend of my mother's - the wife of my first boyfriend who I hadn't seen since her wedding in my mother's extremely fundamentalist church, 44 years ago. The whole church was invited to the wedding, as was the custom, so I went although I no longer attended the church nor did I know the bride beyond sight and her name. Her "chat" took me back to that place and time in my life.
Mother
focused on God
scorn and abandon us
making us fearful and unloved
Evil
"A really rough time back then"
My art
paints, paper, clay, words
turning a blank page bright
sustaining, freeing, opening
Savior
How I got through it.
