little mother
it was scant morning when i felt your loss jostle me from my slumber
to rip through me like serrated teeth to the point of breathlessness.

i feel like, losing, losing, my mind is slowly fragmented as all that i've ever known
has been wrenched from my grasp. in it's place grew a new seed, a healthy seed, a family of love
and yet -
