“I’m sure they both resent me. One because I was a blatant representation of how she failed as a woman, and the other of how she failed as a mother..”

Two women, two mothers

Vying for pinnacle creations

One in body

One in mind

Forfeit faith

Genesis detest

What is found

And lost

And found

Again

Again

One child

Against certainty

With no place

With no arms

With no breast

Cries violently for

What is lost

And found

And lost

Again

Again

One daughter

Distressed, upset

In body

In mind

Searching skies

Forget, neglect

Lost in eyes

Too much pleading

Too many arms open

Too few times

Abandoned

What was found

And lost

And found

Again

Again
