The title of this poem, The Unbroken, suggests to me that there is something inside of us, and something around us, that allows us to move through loss and heartbreak while maintaining our being, our dignity, our souls.
Our healing must include rage, grief, collapse, and resistance. This gives purpose for naming emotions that are part of the process of decolonizing all that is around us. Our bodies are not overreacting. They are responding and for that, we must give self-permission and permission to others.
There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness
we are sanctioned into being.
