The Ramblings of a Non-Status Mi'kmaw Woman

Let Me Be Seen

See me whole and see me true

This I swear, I'll do for you

See me all

        All the good and all the bad

Hold my hand through this lonely abyss

Desire me

        The kind of desire that drives adventurers to the brink unknown

                To both the treacherous storms that drown sailors

        and

                To the warmth of the sun as it sets and rises on still waves

                        Promising a better tomorrow

Give me your tender love

        The tender love which

                Delivers your phantom lips

                        Clings to my rosy cheeks from the memory of your kiss

                Wraps me in your loving embrace

                        Silences the turmoil of the world

Be vulnerable

        So that I may be vulnerable with you in the quiet hours of dawn and dusk

                Where we can witness the pain and beauty that life has bestowed

                Where we see, understand, and accept the many masks we forge and wear

I want that love which is constant as the seasons with all of its unpredictability to bear

So please,

        Let me be seen

        And let me see you
