“Aerial: Take No Prisoners”
Response

Reconciliation Baby
By Lisa Nielsen
Inspiration piece

A misshapen attempt at reconciliation
Brought you here
I can’t possibly tell you this, your existence
Borne of not being ready to die
Who needs that burden
Of proof that you are
Why
I ask
To persist

If you believe in such things, you
were sent down to save me from myself.

I knew nothing but self destruction:
carving my veins along the grainy sidewalk
staring up into the broken light
daring
to be saved

I can’t tell you the why
of your arrival already so tenuous
So tender
So maybe
