KLB: Happy Belated Mothers Day

Eh...just something to let everyone know I'm still alive. Happy belated Mothers Day everyone & happy holiday weekend. I'm getting things together I shall be back soon! Ciao!


Mothers dont break like vases or loom like hangers

In old worn closets

They dont flinch when cold nor brood when pained

Prodded, pulled, poked

Mothers dont break.




Like spinach caught between a whirlwind of violence

Its chewed and spat out

lopsided and crooked your smile

tucked under the roof of your mouth,

or so it seems to be—

When fine wines collide flutes to ale

everything man touches seems fail:

Our cars break down and our children die.

No wonder it seems amiss to me

And the tattered old closets such a mystery

That why when man touches her she becomes Mother

Instead of broken?
