Angelica Fuse- Three Poems


Stump

cut me down
pull me low to the
ground
I'll rise back up
grow into a taller
tree than I was before
I will not be cut down
for womanhood
or disability
or anything else.

 
Platter

bring me his
head on a platter,
she whispered to
the king

and it was done

because sometimes
that's the way the mad
world works.

 
White Chain

a white
glowing chain
connects me
to faith
connects me
to childhood
through a wallow
through this dark
hollow place
I remember what 
it was to believe.
