Poetry: Sovereignty

i cannot remember
feeling the cocoon of safety
in your arms
the warmth of reassurance
when something bad happened

by Nancy Gaeden

I do not fit into a BOX
I DEFINE me

by Nancy Gaeden

watch out
i am
unshackled

by Nancy Gaeden

i have sat with rage
i have felt the heartbreak
the betrayal
the grief
the indignation.

by Nancy Gaeden

Your eyes.
My hand.
Our craft, our band.
