Collaboration written by Maple Tree and Robyn Henderson (Daughter)

*******************************************

I lay upon my spine
within a dark, encased room
shoveling madness upon mother moon
for she has become my Therapist,
stars falling like letters
upon tear stained cheeks
from her sweet soul, they read;

"Haven't been getting medication for cancer,
I'm upset about a lot,
I'm lonely in here mentally"

This mother lays upon a dying birch tree
slowly decaying as the night swallows
my weary soul, each word she writes
opens my heart like a dark abyss from hell.

"I still cant believe I'm in this shit hole,
I love you,please mom write me back,
you are all I got to talk to,
love you mom until next time"

I've become gutted while the night chill
devours me in words-

"Mom I just found out the cancer has spread to
my cervical area, I cant cope right now"

her syllables swallow me, as night rain falls.

"I love you mom, I need you to remember
no matter what happens to me in the future
I'll always be your Birdy even if I go to heaven,
I'll be the first bird you see outside"

Robyn is in Prison and very ill, She and I decided to write a collaboration
together, however it is going to be very long which is why we are splitting it
into parts. Part #1 is starting out with her letters.
