Forgetting Thy Mother
Have you no sense to reign in your brain?
She who has concieved you for those nine months deserves utmost respect
Forgetting thy mother?
One must be insane to turn backs toward your beginning
she who nourished your bones until the age of responsibility
I would gladly bargain my life for the return of that which kept me whole
walk in these elevens from sunrise to sunset
awake come morning with no breast to lay your head upon
the absense of your "goddess" would place a whole in your heart
one so wretched and distorted that a complete heartbeat can no longer be rendered
place your hand to my chest
feel this beat
have you ever felt something so incomplete?
My inly wish is to lay eyes upon her
living
breathing
I would wrap my arms around her for a final hug
converse
hear her voice once more
just a word
it is hard living the life of a motherless child
Forgetting thy mother?
