A light shines at the end of the road

Mother
Should I reach for it
Or will you leave?

Mother
You go and you hold onto it
And I shriek a feminist laughter
Yes dear mother, Adieu

On the seventh day without sun, like sea
He abandoned you
Mother
I was home and wondered where you were.

And late, late, late—tick tock went the rabbit
Its bead eyes clad with a single eyeglass
although I swear it's to replace the devoured sight
Mother.

I stared in front of a glowing screen
Mother
Until you came home for dinner
At dinner I stared at a you.

Mother
You were wrong, wrong, wrong from the start
A hypocrite who couldn't see
An angel who sank beyond Hell

And look, now something is growing
Malevolently, malignantly inside of you
Mother
But you chose the slow death.

I didn't hear your words that day
Tick tock said the rabbit
a pawn toppled the Queen
Mother

A glowing screen sat in front of me
Mother
And I kept counting those incorrigible numbers
You kept wringing my brain dry

Mother
With a poisoned body
Your uterus holds expired life
A hollow bosom reeks of broken will.

Smile, smile, smile yes please
Laughter looks down on you
Mother
My heart pumped steadily through your message.

It's growing—a parasite voracious for guilt
you shan't let it starve in me
Tick tock
Mother.
