poem for the not silent night

Standing at the edge
of the field of queen anne's lace
I know I belong there
sycophants notwithstanding 
I see over you 
“I  am looking through you”  he said airily

I turned and walked away 
back to my own field 
where he does not exist

did you think I would be silent as I was marginalized?

I have given birth to 

worlds of seeds 
tumbling like time
crashing through the river beds
into oceans I have wept
