Mother
Forgive me
For I
Must
Fuss
At the breast
Despite
My best
Effort
To let go
How do I
Let go
How do I
Know
That these
Raw nerves
Burnt in the past
Won’t be
Burnt again
How do I
Loosen the hold
Of what was
What could be
And let the now
Settle
In
Momma
I am thirsty
Help me drink
I am hungry
Help me eat
Or
Bold release
Help me see
How to love
This thirst
And hunger
That are
Such
Integral
Parts
Of me
