~for frida
i'm gonna
get a huge turquoise ring
just for you
--maybe quartz
amethyst
something suggesting otherwordly rhythms
heat capturing rubies?
multifaceted opals?
i'd like to carry
a bit of your shine
take on the silver of your earrings
your tears watered a generation
perhaps god will respect your wishes
and prevent your return
but pieces of you shall remain
to remind women
of the price and privilege
of freedom.
