you gave birth
by Indigo TempestaYou have a big wish
bigger than a sidewinding mountain bigger
even than the sky and all the possibilities there
You are mother to this great child
toddling around the countryside
disinheriting peasants mid-stumble
this cherubic Frankenstein's creation
breaking from a crushing want
from a too-urgent love
You cry at your window
because you see all this
anguish growing
straight out
from what you have cradled for so
long From what you have fed
this great sadness
stamps around
fracturing lives
and you were such
a caring mother you were
but perhaps your
child
needs a father Let
me
