“When grown-ups tell you 'what to do?'
you are made to think there's no solution.
That there's nothing to do
but to keep doing what's always been done.”
― If Elephants Could Talk

“Letting words out,
saying them out loud
would lighten the pain,
lighten my sorrow,
make me happy again.
I will stop missing Amma,
stop loving her.
No . . .
that will never do.
So I lock them within me,
afraid to open my mouth
lest the hurt, the love, the memories
fly and fade away
like birds on the horizon.”

“If elephants could talk,
they would narrate tales of
pain
suffering
and bondage.
If they could speak,
they would ask for freedom from
hunger
isolation
and loneliness.
Yes, if they could,
they would ask to return to
their homes
their families
the wilderness
away from humans and their chaos.
But they can't.
So I must.”
