    When I first went to live with my mother and her new husband, my adoptive father, after the foster home in Verdun- it was in a flat above an audiologist’s shop on Rue St. Catherine in Westmount. He worked for the audiologist and we got subsidized rent. It was there that the abuse began. I was 5. Westmount is a wealthy enclave - and though we were very poor - even the food banks were richer there. And there was the Park. I spent as much time as I could in that Park- to get away from him. There was an old climbing tree, much beloved, on a little island in the heart of the park- a huge old willow bent almost double- eventually propped up by poles. I was devastated to hear that it was finally felled by a storm in 2010. - A

    Lyrics:
    I was the Queen of Westmount Park
    It was all mine after dark
    Old willow tree it was my throne
    Till I till I went home
    Father used me like a wife
    Mother turned the blindest eye
    Stole my body, spirit, pride
    He did he did each night
    One for the hate that loops and loops
    Two for the poison at the roots
    Three for the children breaking through
    Four for the day we’re standing in the sun
    “These are the best years of your life”
    If I’d believed it I’d have died
    Something told me that they lied
    Oh I Oh I survived
    Left home, I was just a child
    Slept in the graveyard, end of the Mile
    When the sun came up and found my skin
    I rose I rose again
    One for the hate that loops and loops
    Two for the poison at the roots
    Three for the children breaking through
    Four for the day we’re standing in the sun
    Slip streams and fever dreams
    Do you see what I can't see?
    Tell me tell me tell me
    I want to understand
    From the coast of Africa
    To the hills of Grenada
    To the cold of Montreal
    That whip that whip still falls
    One for the hate that loops and loops
    Two for the poison at the roots
    Three for the children breaking through
    Four for the day we’re standing in the sun

Woke up in ICU wanting Snoop, Lil Wayne oh girl I love Delta Blues too. Memphis is where I got a 28 year old black man's liver. You never know just how bad you might need someone.

Even though there are painful memories. We aren't defined by the abuse that was put on us. This gave me hope.

    Remercier je désire
    à cette heure du soir
    de ce point du monde
    remercier je désire le labyrinthe divin
    des causes et des effets
    pour la diversité des créatures qui peuplent cet univers singulier
    remercier je désire pour l'amour, qui nous fait voir les autres comme
    la divinité les voit
    pour le pain et le sel
    pour le mystère de la rose
    qui donne de la couleur
    et ne la voit pas
    pour l'art de l'amitié
    pour le dernier jour de Socrate
    pour la langue, qui peut simuler la sagesse
    remercier je désire pour le courage
    et le bonheur des autres
    pour la patrie ressentie dans le jasmin
    et pour la splendeur du feu qu'aucun humain ne peut regarder sans une stupéfaction antique
    et pour la mer qui est la plus proche
    et la plus douce de tous les dieux
    remercier je désire
    parce que les lucioles sont de retour
    et pour nous quand nous sommes ardents et légers
    quand nous sommes joyeux et reconnaissants
    pour la beauté des mots
    nature abstraite de Dieu
    pour la lecture, l'écriture,
    qui nous font explorer nous-mêmes
    et le monde
    pour le calme de la maison
    pour les enfants
    qui sont nos divinités domestiques
    pour l'âme,
    car si elle descend de sa marche
    la terre meurt
    pour le fait d'avoir une soeur
    remercier je désire pour tous
    ceux qui sont petits, clairs et libres
    pour l'art ancien du théâtre,
    quand il rassemble encore les vivants
    et les nourrit
    pour l'intelligence de l'amour
    pour le vin et sa couleur
    pour l'oisiveté avec son attente de rien
    pour la beauté tant ancienne
    et tant nouvelle
    remercier je désire
    pour les visages du monde
    qui sont variés
    et certains sont adorables
    pour quand la nuit l'on dors embrassés
    pour quand on est attentif et amoureux
    pour l'attention qui est la prière spontanée de l'âme
    pour nos maîtres immenses
    pour ceux qui au cours des siècles
    ont raisonné en nous
    pour toutes les bibliothèques du monde
    pour ce fait de se sentir bien parmi les autres qui lisent
    pour le bien de l'amitié
    quand l'on dit des choses stupides
    et chères
    pour tous les baisers d'amour
    pour l'amour qui te rend intrépide
    pour le contentement, l'enthousiasme, l'ivresse
    pour nos morts
    qui font de la mort un lieu habité.
    Remercier je désire
    parce que la musique existe
    sur cette terre
    pour la main droite et la main gauche
    et leur accord intime
    pour ceux qui sont indifférents à la notoriété
    pour les chiens, pour les chats,
    êtres fraternels chargés de mystère
    pour les fleurs et la victoire secrète
    qu'elles célèbrent
    pour le silence et ses nombreux dons pour le silence qui est peut-être la plus grande leçon
    pour le soleil, notre ancêtre.
    Remercier je désire
    pour Borges
    pour Whitman
    et François d'Assise
    pour Hopkins, pour Herbert
    parce qu'ils ont écrit déjà ce poème,
    pour le fait que ce poème est inépuisable et change selon les hommes
    et il n'atteindra jamais le dernier verset.
    Remercie je désire
    pour les minutes qui précédent le sommeil,
    pour les dons intimes que je n'énumère pas
    pour le sommeil et la mort
    ces deux trésors occultes.
    Et enfin remercier je désire
    pour la grande puissance de l'antique amour
    pour l'amour qui meut le soleil et les autres étoiles.
    Et bouge tout en nous.
