My Mama was my North Star, free, fierce, a warrior. My Mama was the ground beneath my feet but the day the sickness came the trees shook and the ground swayed and at 19 I let out a cry in this earthquake of sorrow. She was my everything. Grief and confusion wedged into every corner of my universe. Where her bright light once chartered my way, everything went dark. But an hour from New Orleans on the other side of Lake Pontchartrain, deep in the stalks of the cane fields, my sweet Daddy's tears quenched the earth. I never knew that that land and my mama's grave beneath it were more than he could bear.
