No one tells the child
That it cannot scratch
With all its might
It is not panacea for the itch
Just a conduit for life
To escape
Mirroring the birth
Of the child
An infected path
So as they ask
Are you with..?
It’s paining, it’s roaring
It’s paining, it’s roaring
And it’s stoked
No one knows mothers
Like other mothers
And even other mothers
Smother disparate
Effect a mortal clause,
Clawing at the lips
It wants to be fucked up
Strut it until its soles rub off
No one tells the child
That it cannot feel
It is still (where it came from)
(from its hand)
(from mother’s will)
Imagine being
A baby teething
A woman bleeding
While the inseminator schemes
And breathes the feast of teens
Old man seeks release
So manufacture the least to please
Rather contained than scattered
To define a need, remind of password
Ask allure how backwards fleur
Mask sure words
No one tells the child
That it cannot feel
It is still (where it came from)
(from its hand)
(from mother’s will)

Dropping things to prove worth
Picking things up to show remorse
Holding things, hoping they forgive
Tethering, temperamentally remiss
Dropping things to prove worth
Picking things up to show remorse
Holding things, hoping they forgive
Releasing when they harm the skin
Dropping things to prove worth
Picking things up to show remorse
Aiming them toward the water
Releasing when they harm the skin
Dropping things to prove worth
Lining with products of earth
Aiming them toward the water
Releasing when they harm the skin
Fossilize divine imprint
Lining with products of earth
Aiming them toward the water
Releasing when they harm the skin

Double blind and in motion
Double blind and in motion
Arms stretched out to cut rotation
Stumbling, which party’s moving?
Wear the words on your forehead
Balance is unattainable
New standard of bliss
Carry stress like a basket
Of sustenance
Upon the head, starving
Tied and gagged sensationalist
Against will, but also with
Sifting through deliberate attempts
Mending kills the intrepid
Then moonlight over the zenith

Mistress,
I tried to abhor
You asked for me
When I was not sure
And now I’m yours
Missed rest
Left potential upon your chest
Stole devotion’s steady breath
Prone, she was, to night’s attempt
Against convention,
Time was spent
Inside your head
Inside your skeleton
Kinder than medicine
As if I’m paraffin
What we know,
Throw to the wind
For it shall never be known,
I rescind
I am not kin to her
