Mother's ink
January 19, 2019
A mind should never forget words long not spoken
And if it does , may all hope be abandoned
If by some miracle a sentence is given back
After being abandoned by it's neglectful mother
The mother embraces these sacred words
So that they may not slip away
And if the mother neglects her child further
May she be cursed with words and phrases that have no meaning
Like a slap to the face
But if she embraces this miracle child with love
May it bring back what was once taken
And let him bless a bare page
With red, unforgiving ink
With such an ink there is no return
But mother doesn't worry
Her naive child would never lead her astray

This piece is about me writing. I always imagine this perfect line in my head. Words I have never spoken allowed and sometimes before I can write this perfect sentence I forget these words. This is about how it feels between me and these words.
