Poem - Woman Not Seen

Here is a new poem that I wrote today.
-----
Woman Not Seen

I’ve toiled on old red carpet,
Skinning my knees,
Reservation blues suburb
an home,
Tortured genocidal comforts,
Not knowing anything different,
The sacredness is w
ooziness,
Is dizziness,

Stumbling,
Tripping,
Dream time,

Woman time,
Moon time,

Bleeding time,
I clutch my heart in my small hands,
Finding it hurt and torn,
I confide in the land,
The sand on my feet,
The water washes up on my feet,

Washes the grime,

Washes the torture,
Washes away my souls wounds,
As I dream more in this sacred time.
I feel paralyzed in dream time,
I feel paralyzed in real time,
The faces,
Low spirits,
Jail time,

Is in a body,
Is in this body of mine,
I try to dance,
Alone,
Down a dirt road,
In the woods,

In a home,

Under dim light,
Dreary light,
Industrial light,
No one sees,
The woman not seen.
