Poem -
Old Blood + New
You arrived so beautifully
asking for mother
slash mouth and fingers stretched
battling blind air
Pink skinned, quite naked in old
blood and new, yelling for mother,
your right... and you knew!
Indignant child raging, a war all
alone
tiny scrunched eyes mewling out
for a home
Hushed then...connections...
both wide eyed...we knew...
you asked for mother
She. Asked. For. You. Too.
