auntie flo's mojo

 
florence did a thing heroic
she tended wounds raw
  forever wounding
she tended to the men
  wounded healing or dying
who were once teens
  [some still were]
   who were once boys
   who were once babies in their momma's arms
and florence tended them
when their mommas couldn't
they were loved
when they were sick in their beds
when their limbs were gone
when they went mad in their heads
when deep in nights
  they wept and in nightmare snared
they were boys without their moms
  and florence was there
