Undoing

Poetry book by Rysse Guzman Dakota

A raw and provocative journey of intergenerational healing. This womb-deep autobiographical poetry book explores themes of love, heartbreak, abusive relationships, decolonization, reclamation of magic, and surviving crisis.

Excerpt from Undoing

Deeper​

(to the beat of the medicine drum)

​I dig out my loins, 

scars from the roots.

Deeper, it whispers, 

deeper.

I claw at my chest,

crawl through the cobwebs.

Deeper, it slithers,

deeper.

On my knees I proclaim, 

enough, I have learned.

No deeper, it goes,

deeper.

 

There's a grace

you won’t know

till you shatter

your soul.

Deeper let go, 

deeper.

To the truth there unknown.

Root it down.

Bring it home.

Deeper, the answer 

is deeper.

You will swim through the ages

of skeletons raging.

Deeper you'll clear.

Deeper.

For the shadows that bind you,

the longing that ties you.

Deeper you get to heal.

Deeper.
