Poetry with audio| To The Sober Girl Who Went Before Me

Listen to the audio

There was your voice first,

A sureness of sound from

A different place that I

Remembered - I was

Scared at how it promised

Everything I had lost.

There was a place,

Somewhere in the sky,

Where love is sworn

Beyond soft and easy words.

I bowed my tired head,

I would be dragged up,

Lifted up, through you,

In the clarity of your

Golden spirit that has

Been raised before me.
