When I first went to live with my mother and her new husband, my adoptive father, after the foster home in Verdun- it was in a flat above an audiologist’s shop on Rue St. Catherine in Westmount. He worked for the audiologist and we got subsidized rent. It was there that the abuse began. I was 5. Westmount is a wealthy enclave - and though we were very poor - even the food banks were richer there. And there was the Park. I spent as much time as I could in that Park- to get away from him. There was an old climbing tree, much beloved, on a little island in the heart of the park- a huge old willow bent almost double- eventually propped up by poles. I was devastated to hear that it was finally felled by a storm in 2010. - A

Lyrics:
I was the Queen of Westmount Park
It was all mine after dark
Old willow tree it was my throne
Till I till I went home
Father used me like a wife
Mother turned the blindest eye
Stole my body, spirit, pride
He did he did each night
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day we’re standing in the sun
“These are the best years of your life”
If I’d believed it I’d have died
Something told me that they lied
Oh I Oh I survived
Left home, I was just a child
Slept in the graveyard, end of the Mile
When the sun came up and found my skin
I rose I rose again
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day we’re standing in the sun
Slip streams and fever dreams
Do you see what I can't see?
Tell me tell me tell me
I want to understand
From the coast of Africa
To the hills of Grenada
To the cold of Montreal
That whip that whip still falls
One for the hate that loops and loops
Two for the poison at the roots
Three for the children breaking through
Four for the day we’re standing in the sun
